The U.S. dollar weakened against other major currencies in the
European session on Thursday as the European stock markets traded
higher, after U.S. chipmaker Nvidia said its revenue more than
tripled, and profits rose nine-fold.
The A.I. chip maker also projected that its revenue would more
than triple again, driven by robust demand for its specialized and
costly semiconductors.
In the Asian trading today, the U.S. dollar held steady against
the euro, the pound and the Swiss franc, while the greenback rose

In the European trading now, the U.S. dollar fell to nearly a
3-week lows of 1.0888 against the euro and 1.2710 against the
pound, from early highs of 1.0819 and 1.2631, respectively. If the
greenback extends its downtrend, it is likely to find support
around 1.10 against the euro and 1.28 against the pound.
The greenback dropped to near 2-week low of 0.8743 against the
Swiss franc, from an early high of 0.8795. On the downside, 0.85 is
seen as the next support level for the greenback.
Moving away from an early 6-day high of 150.47 against the yen,
the greenback edged down to 150.01. The greenback may test support
near the 146.00 region.
Against Australia, the New Zealand and the Canadian dollars, the
greenback slid to nearly a 3-week low of 0.6596, a 5-week low of
0.6219 and a 9-day low of 1.3441 from early highs of 0.6542, 0.6177
and 1.3498, respectively. The next possible downside target for the
greenback is seen around 0.67 against the aussie, 0.63 against the
kiwi and 1.33 against the loonie.
