Against the yen, the greenback slipped to 118.925 yen, off this week's high of 119.84. Yet, it too has been struggling for direction since peaking at a 7-1/2-year high of 121.86 yen in early December.
The dollar was trading against the Indian rupee at Rs 61.97, the US currency was available at 3.5970 versus the Malaysain ringgit and the greenback was at 6.2596 in terms of the Chinese yuan.
