NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The dollar remained under pressure rose Tuesday after a U.S. government report said wholesale prices fell at twice the rate predicted by economists surveyed by MarketWatch. Excluding food and energy, producer prices unexpectedly fell 0.1% last month. A separate report showed housing starts were flat at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 590,000 in September, compared to a median forecast for a rise to a 607,000 pace. The dollar index (DXY 75.14, -0.37, -0.50%) , a measure of the greenback against a trade-weighted basket of currencies, traded at 75.231, down from 75.373 on Monday.
