The U.S. dollar traded mixed against the most major currencies. The greenback remained supported by Monday's San Francisco Federal Reserve research report. The report showed that investors were underestimating the start of interest rate hike by the Fed. Market participants have concerns the Fed may raise its interest rate sooner than expected.
