The U.S. dollar was fairly steady against major currencies on Thursday even as the latest batch of economic data turned out to be a bit disappointing.
The minutes of the Federal Reserve's January meeting that gave rise to prospects of a hike in interest rate sometime during the course of this year helped the greenback stay somewhat stronger against its peers.
The Dollar Index was up by about 0.11%, at 96.62, after advancing to 96.66 from a low of 96.36.
