Dollar weakness centres on US economy concerns
The dollar remained weak against both the euro and the yen in early Tuesday trading, hit by further fears over the state of the US economy.
After more reports of losses in the US banking sector due to bad mortgage debt and the resulting credit crunch, the dollar was at $1.4674 against the euro.
This is near the dollar's record low of $1.4752 against the European currency, which it hit at the start of the month.
