The greenback traded mute on debt ceiling negotiations
On Monday, the dollar was largely unchanged as U.S. debt ceiling talks were scheduled to restart and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell made it clear he preferred a meeting-by-meeting approach to future policy decisions.
After a favourable phone discussion on Sunday between U.S. President Joe Biden and House Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy, investors are now anticipating their Monday meeting to address the debt ceiling.
According to analysts, the dollar is still being supported by optimism regarding the debt ceiling.
