Dollar Exhibits Weakness Again
WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - The U.S. dollar stayed weak against most of is major counterparts on Monday, extending recent slide, amid rising hopes the Federal Reserve will keep its easy monetary policy for some more months.
The latest data on U.S. non-farm payroll employment has contributed significantly to this view about the central bank s stand with regard to rates.
