Dollar Slightly Lower on Strong Stocks and Weak Crude

The dollar index (DXY) fell 0.06% on Tuesday after giving up an early gain, driven by weaker-than-expected US data including July new home sales and August consumer confidence. WTI crude dropped 3% to a 1-week low, adding downward pressure on broader risk sentiment. Overall, the move suggests a modestly cautious FX and macro backdrop rather than a decisive shift.
