The dollar slipped against the euro ahead of the release of US Federal Reserve meeting minutes on Tuesday, though investors were reluctant to make big bets a day ahead of the European Central Bank meeting. At least for the next few hours, the market focus in pre-Easter trade remains the Fed's meeting minutes from March which may provide clues on US policymakers' inclination to take further steps to ease policy, which would weigh on the dollar.
The euro was last trading up 0.1 percent at $1.3337, with the session low at $1.3298 and the session peak at $1.3367. The euro was last little changed against the Swiss franc at 1.2031 francs, but still near a two-month low as traders pushed the shared currency closer to the 1.20 franc floor set by the Swiss National Bank last year. Against the yen, the dollar was last up 0.1 percent at 82.18 yen, recovering from a drop to a low at 81.54 yen, its weakest since March 9.
