07:36 AM EDT, 03/11/2025 (MT Newswires) -- The US dollar fell against its major trading partners early Tuesday, except for a gain versus the yen, ahead of the release of weekly Redbook same-store sales at 8:55 am ET and job openings data for January at 11:00 am ET.

GBP/USD rose to 1.2924 from 1.2877 at the Monday US close and 1.2913 at the same time Monday morning. The next Bank of England meeting is scheduled for March 20.
