Dollar falls for second day


The dollar fell on Thursday for a second straight session, as improved risk appetite encouraged investors to sell the US currency after a recent surge.
Risk indicators in currency markets such as the EURCHF and the Canadian Dollar rose, although gains were limited as US markets closed on Thanksgiving Day.


The dollar index, which tracks the performance of the greenback against a basket of other currencies, fell 0.1 percent to 96.65, down from a high of nearly a year and a half of 97.693 recorded earlier this month.

The euro was up 0.1 percent as investors were cautiously cautious about the near-term outlook, after a slight easing of tensions in the European bond market over Italy's budget negotiations with the European Union.

The British Pound was little changed to settle at $ 1.2775 as traders await clarification of progress in the UK exit agreement.
