SINGAPORE/LONDON—The dollar edged lower on Monday, with U.S. markets closed for a holiday, as investors weighed U.S. jobs data that showed some signs of cooling, boosting bets the Federal Reserve could be at the end of its monetary tightening cycle.
Against a basket of currencies, the dollar inched 0.1 percent lower to 104.14 but remained close to the two-month peak of 104.44 it touched on Aug. 25. The index gained 1.7 percent in August, snapping its two-month losing streak.
