The euro was down 0.13% at $1.0922 and the pound nearly 0.2% lower at $1.3043. The dollar was flat on the Japanese yen at 149.20.
The dollar index was at 103.10, up a touch and closing in on last week's peak, its highest since mid-August, on the back of traders reducing bets on further jumbo rate cuts by the Federal Reserve at its remaining meetings this year.
The one-month non-deliverable forward indicated that the rupee will open near 84.08 to the U.S. dollar, compared with 84.06 in the previous session and past the lifetime low of 84.07.
