0659 GMT - The dollar falls to a 10-day low against a basket of currencies as expectations for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates this year dim.

"Given Fed Chair Kevin Warsh has stepped back from offering policy guidance, the minutes may shed extra light on how the Fed is weighing inflation risks as well as their urgency to act should those risks remain elevated," Deutsche Bank analysts say in a note. The DXY dollar index falls to as low as 99.452.
