Xinhua, New York :
The U.S. dollar fell against other major currencies on Thursday as investors were digesting the latest jobs data from the country.
U.S. private sector employment increased by 153,000 jobs from November to December, missing market consensus of 172,000, according to the December ADP National Employment Report released Thursday.
The ADP figure is widely seen as a pre-indicator for the non-farm payrolls report due on Friday.
The dollar index, which tracks the greenback against six major peers, was down 1.14 percent at 101.530 in late trading.
