Traders looking for a safe haven bought were buying the dollar in recent days, but with manufacturing growth in China signaling strong demand, riskier assets attracted investors.
A mixed bag of data from the US kept traders guessing about the health of the nation’s economy.
The buck dropped to $1.3150 against the euro, having touched 2-month peak of $1.2968 on Tuesday.
The buck also pulled back from its 2-month high against the sterling, easing to $1.5640 from $1.5484.
Conversely, the dollar found its footing against the yen, rising to Y84.38. With the advance, the dollar was within a whisker of its recent 2-month peak.
U.S. private sector employment increased by more than expected in November, according to a report released by Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (ADP) on Wednesday, with the increase marking the strongest private sector job growth in three years.
ADP said private sector employment increased by 93,000 jobs in November following an upwardly revised increase of 82,000 jobs in October.
Meanwhile, a discouraging report on US mortgage activity fuel speculation that housing may be in for a double dip.
