Dollar Falls Against Most Currencies

Tue., March 10, 1998

The dollar Monday fell against the mark, reflecting positive economic data coming out of Germany and negative figures from Britain.

The dollar couldn’t maintain its highs of the day against the yen as traders tried to maintain an even keel ahead of the close of Japan’s fiscal year on March 31.

Moreover, investors found little significant news or economic data to change their positions in light trading.
