NEW YORK, Sept 18 - The U.S. dollar edged down against a basket of currencies on Monday but remained near a six-month high, as traders looked ahead to decisions on interest rates this week from the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan.
The U.S. dollar index , which measures the currency against six major counterparts, was down 0.27% at 105.11, not far from the six-month high of 105.43 touched on Thursday. The index rose for its ninth straight week last week, its longest winning streak in nearly a decade. Data on Monday showed U.S. homebuilder confidence fell for a second month in September, with optimism dropping to the lowest since April as high interest rates cut into affordability for prospective buyers.
Fed fund futures show investors expect the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates on hold in the 5.25% to 5.5% range on Wednesday.
