The dollar rebounded against the euro on Tuesday after two sessions of losses, but tepid US data and caution around a meeting of eurozone finance ministers later in the week kept trading range-bound. The greenback's advance came a day after comments from US Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke prompted a rally in stocks on hopes the Fed could yet embark on a third round of quantitative easing.
The US dollar index, which measures the dollar's performance against a basket of major currencies, was up just 0.1 percent at 79.059. The euro slid 0.17 percent to $1.3334 on Tuesday. But against Japan's yen, the single currency rose 0.14 percent to 110.79 yen. The greenback was up 0.48 percent against the yen at 83.16 yen, below a recent 11-month high of 84.19 yen.
