NEW YORK -- The dollar was mixed Monday as investors looked ahead to third-quarter earnings reports for more clues on the state of the global economy.
The 16-nation euro inched up to $1.4776 in late New York trading from the $1.4709 it bought late Friday. That's slightly below a 12-month high of $1.4803.
The British pound fell to $1.5786 from $1.5835, while the dollar was unchanged at 89.84 Japanese yen.
Trading was light as much of the country observed the Columbus Day holiday. No major economic reports were due and government bond markets were closed.
After U.S aluminum maker Alcoa Inc. kicked earnings season off last week, major banks such as JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Citigroup Inc. will be releasing their reports this week, as will Google Inc. and General Electric Co.
