The dollar fell broadly on a quiet market on Wednesday as concerns about a possible halt in US government activity were clouded by optimism about tax reform.
Analysts said it was unlikely that any major moves to the dollar until at least Friday, the date of the announcement of the report of important non-farm payrolls data and probably not before the next meeting of the Federal Reserve (US Central Bank) next week.
The formation of a new record high above $ 12,500, more than 7 percent from the previous day, was overshadowed by the formation of a new currency.
The currency is heading for its strongest quarterly performance since 2013 after tripling since the beginning of October.
The dollar index, which measures the strength of the greenback against a basket of major currencies, fell 0.1 percent to 93.297.
The dollar hit a five-day low of 111.99 yen, down 0.05 percent.
The euro settled on Wednesday at $ 1.1820.
The Australian dollar fell 0.4 percent to $ 0.7580, near a five-month low of $ 0.7532 on Nov. 21 after weak growth data.
The Canadian dollar fell 0.1 percent to 1.2699 Canadian dollars to the US dollar ahead of the BoE meeting later on Wednesday. 29 / a 43
