In the fourth Asian trade, the dollar nursed losses on Thursday amid gathering doubts about a mooted Sino-US trade deal, while the volatile pound was on edge as Britain and the European Union scrambled to secure a last-minute Brexit deal.
As the greenback steadied on most major currencies, the biggest gainer was the Australian dollar, which jumped 0.4% from the session's low after jobs data showed buoyant hiring, lowering chances of monetary easing in November.
It has surged some 5% since last week as negotiations stepped up.
The dollar was available versus the Indian rupee at Rs 71.400, the greenback was at 4.186 in terms of the Malaysian ringgit and the US currency was trading at 7.098 against the Chinese yuan.
