The U.S. dollar rebounded against its major counterparts in the New York session on Tuesday, as Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari suggested that more progress on inflation is needed to support a rate cut.

In an interview with CNBC, Kashkari said he needs to see "many more months of positive inflation data" before he would consider cutting interest rates.

Kashkari, who does not have a vote on the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee this year, also said he could not rule out raising interest rates if inflation fails to slow.

On the economic front, the Conference Board released a report unexpectedly showing a significant improvement in consumer confidence in the month of May.

The Conference Board said its consumer confidence index jumped to 102.0 in May from an upwardly revised 97.5 in April.
