NEW YORK, Oct. 30 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. dollar lost in late trading on Monday, as markets have practically priced in a pause in the Federal Reserve's meeting on Wednesday.

The dollar index, which measures the greenback against six major peers, fell 0.30 percent to 106.2369 in late trading.

The Dallas Fed manufacturing index dipped from -18.1 in September to -19.2 in October, the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas revealed on Monday. Production index declined from 7.9 in September to 5.2 in October, while capacity utilization index fell from 7.8 to 5.4. The new orders index slid from -5.2 to -8.8.

U.S. Treasury yields moved toward session highs after the release of the report.

As the economic calendar had nothing major to offer on Monday, investors' focus shifted to the highlights for the rest of the week, including the Bank of England and Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, of which none of the respective central banks are expected to hike rates. Investors will closely look upon Fed Chair Jerome Powell's stance and outlook to continue placing their bets on the Fed's next decisions.

Ahead of the Fed's decision on Wednesday, the odds of a hike of 25 basis points in December are still low, around 20 percent, according to the CME Group FedWatch Tool.
