Dollar hobbled by economic worries

TOKYO/LONDON: The dollar hovered near a five-month low against major peers on Monday, bruised by President Donald Trump's erratic trade policies and soft economic data, at a time when other currencies, including the euro, benefit from domestic drivers.

The euro was last at $1.0876, marginally lower on the day, but still close to the $1.0947 it hit last week, its highest since October II.

The Japanese yen was also softer on the day at 148.94 per dollar, but again after hitting its strongest in five months last week at 146.5 to the dollar.
