Summary Dollar fell slightly against euro and yen as Federal Reserve meeting minutes leave markets guessing.
NEW YORK (AFP) - The dollar fell slightly against the euro and the yen on Wednesday as meeting minutes from the US Federal Reserve s July meeting did little to elucidate the future of US monetary policy.
Toward 2100 GMT on Wednesday, the euro was at $1.1287, up from $1.1276 the day before, while the dollar had slightly weakened to 100.28 yen, down from 100.30.
The pound fell slightly against the dollar to $1.3038, down from $1.3044.
An account of deliberations from last month showed Federal Reserve policy makers were keeping their "options open" but remained divided on the threat of inflation.
Joe Manimbo, a currency market analyst at Western Union, said the Fed minutes had "left much to the imagination."
"The minutes from bankers late July meeting offered a mix of hawkish and dovish signals which largely offset, keeping the bar elevated to an imminent rate hike," Manimbo wrote in a note to clients.
