The dollar index, which measures the performance of the US currency against a basket of other currencies, remained steady at 98.03. The euro held at 1.1770 dollars, while the British pound slipped slightly to 1.3491 dollars. The Australian dollar was largely unchanged at 0.6717 per US dollar, and the New Zealand dollar fell 0.2 percent to 0.582 per US dollar. — Ends/AH
