The dollar slipped from an 11-month high against a basket of major currencies on Tuesday, pausing for breath after rallying almost 3 percent recently, Reuters reported. Having reached 100.22 on Monday, its highest since early December 2015, and having gained for six consecutive days - its best run in six months - the dollar index, which measures the greenback's value against a basket of six major currencies, fell half a percent to 99.662. Having hit an 11-month low of $1.0709 on Monday, the euro climbed 0.6 percent to $1.0805. The onshore Chinese yuan fell to its weakest level in nearly eight years, breaking through 6.85 per dollar. Sweden's crown hit a three-week high of 9.7960 per euro after data showed Swedish consumer prices rose 1.2 percent compared with the same month last year.
