The US Dollar Index eased in early trading as market participants positioned ahead of this week's inflation report, a key input for the Federal Reserve's next policy decision.
A softer-than-expected reading could reinforce bets on additional rate cuts, while a hotter print may prompt a reassessment of the current easing path.
Major pairs including EUR/USD and GBP/USD both edged higher against the dollar in response to the cautious positioning.
