The dollar fell versus major currencies Thursday as European leaders met to discuss the debt crisis in Greece and other nations.
What prices are doing: The dollar was down 0.1% versus the euro to $1.3753 and fell 0.1% against the U.K. pound to $1.56098. Against the Japanese yen, the dollar dropped 0.3% to ¥89.69.
On Wednesday, the dollar was mixed against rivals after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke outlined a plan to withdraw trillions of the dollars used to prop up the nation's economy.
What's driving prices: The euro gained against the dollar as investors watched a summit of European Union leaders on the debt situation in Greece.
At the summit, EU President Herman Van Rompuy did not announce a deal to rescue Greece, but said European countries would be prepared to step in if needed.
The dollar was also pressured by stocks, which were poised to open higher Thursday as optimism about a bailout for Greece eased jitters.
