The U.S. dollar fell to a 10-month low on Tuesday, bearing the brunt of a selloff triggered by scaled back expectations for another rate hike at Federal Reserve this year. The dollar index against a basket of major currencies sank to its lowest since last September with euro rising above $1.15 against the greenback for the first time since May 2016. In Asian hours, the Australian dollar surged more than 1 per cent after minutes from the central bank's last policy meeting showed it turning more upbeat on the economic outlook. Currently, the TSX is down 0.24% and the DOW is down 0.22%. EURCAD is up 0.22% trading between 1.4538 and 1.4614. GBPCAD is down 0.89% trading between 1.6376 and 1.6612. JPYCAD is down 0.25% trading between 0.01124 and 0.01129.
