The dollar rose on Monday, as investors anticipate a week full of important economic data that will provide more clues to global interest rate expectations, with a focus on US inflation data.
Core personal consumption expenditures price index, the Federal Reserve's preferred measure of inflation, is due out on Thursday and is expected to rise 0.4 percent on a monthly basis.
The week also features inflation data from the Eurozone, Japan and Australia, along with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's (RBNZ) interest rate decision and China's PMI readings.
With the dollar broadly higher ahead of the data, the Australian dollar fell 0.16 percent to $0.6553 and the New Zealand dollar fell 0.5 percent to $0.6167.
The New Zealand dollar rose 1.2 percent last week, benefiting from a broad dollar decline and the possibility that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will raise interest rates on Wednesday, although most economists expect the bank to keep them unchanged.
The pound fell 0.03 percent to $1.26675, while the euro rose 0.02 percent to $1.0823.
Japan's consumer price data is due on Tuesday, and is expected to show core inflation slowing to an annual rate of 1.8 percent in January, the lowest level since March 2022.
That would complicate the Bank of Japan's plans to end negative interest rates in the coming months, keeping the yen under pressure in the near term.
The yen was last up slightly at 150.47 per dollar, having already fallen more than 6 percent this year due to the stark interest rate differential between the United States and Japan.
Markets now expect about a 20 percent chance that the Fed will start cutting rates in May, compared with about 90 percent a month ago, according to the CME FedWatch tool.
The dollar index reached 103.95 points in the latest reading.
