Dollar Softens As Investors Await Key U.S. Economic Data Before Fed Meeting

On Tuesday, the dollar weakened against a basket of currencies, following a drop in Treasuries yields as investors awaited key U.S. economic data ahead of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy meeting next week. The dollar index lost over 0.5% in the previous session, sitting at around 105.57. The market is now focused on the flash purchasing managers' index (PMI) data and gross domestic product (GDP) report, which could set market expectations ahead of the Fed's meeting on Oct. 31 - Nov. 1.
