The U.S. dollar declined against its major counterparts in the
New York session on Tuesday, amid growing expectations for another
half-point rate cut in November.
The likelihood of another aggressive rate cut in November
increased and currently stands at 58.2%.
Investors focus on Fed Chair Jerome Powell's remarks and
personal consumption expenditures (PCE) data due later this week
for further policy moves.
The currency was also weighed by a weak consumer confidence
report.
Data from the Conference Board showed that the consumer
confidence index fell to 98.7 in September from an upwardly revised
105.6 in August. Economists had expected the index to edge down to
103.8 from the 103.3 originally reported for the previous
month.
The greenback weakened to near a 4-week low of 1.3464 against
the loonie, more than 1-year low of 0.6878 against the aussie and
an 8-1/2-month low of 0.6327 against the kiwi, off its early highs
of 1.3538, 0.6814 and 0.6259, respectively. Immediate support for
the currency is seen around 1.32 against the loonie, 0.70 against
the aussie and 0.645 against the kiwi.
The greenback fell to a 5-day low of 0.8450 against the franc
and a 2-1/2-year low of 1.3398 against the pound, from its early
highs of 0.8490 and 1.3331, respectively. The currency is seen
finding support around 0.83 against the franc and 1.35 against the
pound.
The greenback retreated to 1.1163 against the euro and 143.43
against the yen, from an early high of 1.1103 and nearly a 3-week
high of 144.68, respectively. The currency is likely to challenge
support around 1.13 against the euro and 137.00 against the
yen.
