The dollar index, which tracks the currency against six major peers, rose by 0.4% to 103.71, while the euro was last down nearly 0.5% at $1.0828.
"I think it's the fact that U.S. policy rate expectations have gone too far and will unwind more in December than rate expectations elsewhere," said Colin Asher, senior economist at lender Mizuho in London.
"November was... a very poor month for the U.S. dollar, in part driven by expectations of easier Fed policy," Asher said.
The dollar was trading higher against the yen at 147.34, after falling to 146.24 in the Asian session, its lowest since mid-September.
"A steady USD decline needs more than just an expectation of Fed rate cuts, it also needs strong growth outside of the U.S. which doesn't seem to be the case currently," said Charu Chanana, market strategist at Saxo Markets.
