The index lost more ground and fell back to the 92.50 zone due to the further improvement in the risk space.
Yields on the key US 10-year benchmark are also down after briefly testing the area above 1.30% and assisting with renewed DXY bearish momentum.
Further selling pressure hit the dollar after the ECB meeting left key rates unchanged, as expected, and both the Governing Council and President Lagarde at their press conference did not sound as dovish as expected.
The economic agenda also did not support the dollar after weekly claims increased by 419,000 (from 368,000) and the Chicago Fed’s national activity index fell to 0.09 in June (from 0.26).
