In the fourth Asian trade, the dollar took a breather on Thursday following its recent strong gains against key rivals, while sterling steadied after British Prime Minister Theresa May's government won a no-confidence vote in parliament.
The dollar index, which measures the greenback against six major peers, stood at 96.055 after gaining half a percent during the previous two sessions.
The US currency largely held onto its gains against the euro as persistent worries about the euro zone economy weigh on the single currency.
The dollar was trading a shade lower on the euro at $1.1399 after rising five straight sessions against the single currency, during which it gained about 1.5 percent.
The dollar was trading against the Indian rupee at Rs 71.275, the greenback was at 4.111 versus the Malaysian ringgit and the US currency was available at 6.767 in terms of the Chinese yuan.
