The dollar made a steady start to the week, as investors were focused on U.S., European and Japanese inflation data to guide the global interest rate outlook.
The euro , which gained 0.9% on the dollar last week, was in the middle of a range it has held for more than a year at $1.0846.
German inflation on Wednesday and euro zone readings on Friday will be watched for confirmation of a European rate cut that traders have priced for next week.
The dollar had fallen back after data showed a slowdown in consumer price rises in April and disappointing retail sales, before strengthening last week thanks to better-than-expected PMI survey data.
China's yuan finished last week weaker than 7.24 per dollar, its lowest level since early May.
