MW: Dollar down as stimulus, bank bailout plan delayed
The U.S. dollar declined Monday as hopes of details of the Treasury's plan to deal with banks' bad debt were put on hold for a day and the Senate delayed a vote on the economic stimulus bill. The dollar index , which measures the U.S. unit against a trade-weighted basket of six major currencies, fell to 84.710 from 85.240 in late North American trading on Friday. The euro rose to $1.3045 from $1.2932.
