The dollar remained under pressure on Wednesday after retreating from a nearly three-month high against the euro in the previous session with a decline in U.S. bond yields adding to the drag.

U.S. Treasury yields also turned down from highs overnight on solid demand at a sale of new three-year notes, removing some support for the dollar.
The U.S. dollar index , which measures the currency against six major peers, including the euro, was flat at 104.14, following Tuesday's 0.29% slide.
The currency pair tends to be extremely sensitive to moves in Treasury yields.
