The U.S. dollar drifted lower against most of its major counterparts on Tuesday, extending recent losses, as weak economic data raised speculation the Fed will soon stop its tightening cycle.
The dollar fell to multi-month lows against some of the major currencies.
Data from the Labor Department showed job openings in the U.S. decreased by more than expected in the month of February.
