The dollar rose against most of its peers on Wednesday as reports of renewed tension in U.S.-China trade negotiations supported safe-haven bids, although the Federal Reserve's policy meeting later due in the day limited the greenback's gains.
Against a basket of key rival currencies, the dollar was almost 0.1 percent higher at 96.454 as it managed to find its footing after hitting its lowest level since March 1 at 96.291 in overnight trading.
The index is still down 1.3 percent from a three-month high of 97.71 hit on March 7, on views the Fed will strike a dovish tone during its latest policy meeting.
