Investing.com - The U.S. dollar was broadly higher against its major counterparts on Monday, after weekend G-20 nations and International Monetary Fund meetings offered no new solutions on the euro zone debt crisis, denting risk appetite.
During European morning trade, the greenback was up against the euro, with EUR/USD shedding 0.41% to hit 1.3440.
The single currency came under pressure after Germany's Deputy Finance minister Joerg Asmussen said Sunday that Greece will probably have to wait beyond a key meeting on October 3rd for a decision on its next tranche of bailout funds.
Earlier in the day, a report by the Ifo Institute showed that German business confidence declined less-than-expected in September, slipping to 107.5 from 108.7 the previous month.
The greenback was down against the pound, with GBP/USD rising 0.27% to hit 1.5488.
Meanwhile, the greenback was lower against the yen but higher against the Swiss franc, with USD/JPY sliding 0.20% to hit 76.44 and USD/CHF rising 0.34% to hit 0.9088.
Over the weekend Swiss National Bank Chairman Philipp Hildebrand reiterated the bank's determination to maintain the cap on the Swiss franc introduced earlier this month to help the country's exports.
The greenback was up against its Canadian, Australian and New Zealand counterparts, with USD/CAD climbing 0.33% to hit 1.0311, AUD/USD slumping 0.49% to hit 0.9732 and NZD/USD sliding 0.23% to hit 0.7741.
Earlier in the day, official data showed that New Zealand's trade balance swung into a deficit of NZD641 million in August, from a downwardly revised surplus of NZD111 million the previous month.
The dollar index, which tracks the performance of the greenback versus a basket of six other major currencies, was up 0.29% to hit 79.14.
Later in the day, a U.S. report on new home sales was to be published.
