The U.S. dollar traded mixed against the most major currencies ahead the number of initial jobless claims and the U.S. preliminary manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI).

The number of initial jobless claims in the U.S. is expected to rise by 5,000 to 269,000.

The U.S. preliminary manufacturing purchasing managers' index is expected to decline to 57.2 in October from 57.5 in September.

The greenback remained supported by yesterday's better-than-expected U.S. consumer price inflation. The U.S. consumer price inflation rose 0.1% in September, exceeding expectations for a flat reading, after a 0.2% decrease in August.

The euro traded higher against the U.S. dollar after PMI reports from the Eurozone. Eurozone's preliminary manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) rose to 50.7 in October from 50.3 in September, beating expectations for a decline to 50.0.

Eurozone's preliminary services PMI remained unchanged at 52.4 in October, beating forecasts of a decrease to 52.0.

Germany's preliminary manufacturing PMI climbed to 51.8 in October from 49.9 in September, beating forecasts of a fall to 49.6.

The British pound fell against the U.S. dollar after the disappointing retail sales from the U.K. Retail sales in the U.K. fell 0.3% in September, missing expectations for a 0.1% decrease, after a 0.4% gain in August.

That data could mean that the economy in the U.K. is losing momentum, and the Bank of England may delay its interest rate hike.

The Confederation of British Industry released its industrial order books balance. The CBI industrial order books balance fell to -6% in October from -4% in September, missing expectations for an increase to -3%. That was the lowest level since July 2013.
