Dollar Extends Slide Against Peers WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - The U.S. dollar stayed weak against its major rivals on Tuesday, extending recent losses, as comments from Fed officials suggested the central bank will continue to hold interest rates lower despite inflationary pressures. After comments from several Fed officials last week, Dallas Fed Bank President Robert Kaplan said on Monday that a rate hike is unlikely to happen until next year. Federal Reserve Vice Chair Richard Clarida said during a webinar that the weaker-than-expected April payroll report showed the U.S. economy had not yet reached the threshold to warrant scaling back the central bank's massive bond purchases.
