Dollar Falls From One-Week High on Debt-Ceiling Vote; Rand Drops

The dollar fell from a one-week high against the euro as the U.S. House voted to temporarily suspend the federal-debt ceiling, increasing investor appetite for higher-yielding assets.

Norway’s krone and Brazil’s real gained versus the greenback. Canada’s dollar slid versus most major peers after its central bank said the need to raise interest rates is less urgent. South Africa’s rand fell to the weakest level since 2009. The debt-limit bill now goes to the Senate, where Majority Leader Harry Reid vowed to pass it unchanged.
