The U.S. dollar traded mixed against major currencies in late New York trading on Wednesday, as the Euro kept on falling against the dollar.
The Euro rose to a session peak of 1.3183 against the dollar earlier on Wednesday, bouncing off its nearly-three-week trough of 1.3073 seen on Tuesday, as a report said China was ready to buy large amounts of Portuguese sovereign debt.
However, deepening fears that the Euro zone debt crisis would continue pushed the Euro down later in the day.
The U.S. Commerce Department said on Wednesday that U.S. third- quarter gross domestic product growth was revised up to an annualized rate of 2.6 percent from the previous estimate of 2.5 percent. The figure was below economists' expectation of 2.8 percent.
Against the yen, the dollar fell below 83.60 in later trading session. The dollar index was floating around 80.72.
In late Wednesday trading, the dollar bought 83.59 Japanese yen, comparing with 83.77 late Tuesday, and the Euro fell to 1.3089 dollars from 1.3095.
The British pound also fell to 1.5371 dollars from 1.5465. The dollar fell from 0.9590 to 0.9527 against the Swiss franc, and also fell to 1.0137 Canadian dollars from 1.0187.
