NEW YORK, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. dollar declined against most major currencies on Thursday as investors took profits from recent gains.
The dollar index http://www.edmontonoilersteamstore.com/adidas-jean-francois-jacques-jersey , which measures the greenback against six major peers, was up nearly 1.3 percent in the past three sessions amid renewed hope for an interest rate-hike at the end of this year. The index was down 0.28 percent at 93.098 in late trading amid profit-taking on Thursday.
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said on Tuesday that it's appropriate for the central bank to continue gradually tighten its monetary policy in view of the uncertainties around inflation.
Investors saw a 78 percent chance the Fed would raise rates at its Dec. 12-13 policy meeting, according to CME Group's FedWatch program.

In late New York trading, the euro rose to 1.1784 U.S. dollars from 1.1752 U.S. dollars, and the British pound climbed to 1.3446 U.S. dollars from 1.3399 U.S. dollars. The Australian dollar decreased to 0.7854 U.S. dollar from 0.7860 U.S. dollar.

Under the agreement, China Merchants Port Holdings will own 70 percent stake of the port while Sri Lanka Ports Authority will own 30 percent, Ports Minister Mahinda Samarasinghe said late Tuesday.
Speaking at a media briefing in Colombo http://www.edmontonoilersteamstore.com/adidas-grant-fuhr-jersey , Samarasinghe said the matter will also be discussed in parliament on Friday and all legislators will be briefed about the agreement signed between the two countries.
"This agreement will be a win-win situation for both China and Sri Lanka. We hope to strengthen the operations of the Hambantota Port which will be beneficial for Sri Lanka," Samarasinghe said.
China Merchants Port Holdings will manage the operations of the port. Sri Lanka will manage the security of the port along with the navigation and approvals.
Samarasinghe added that although negotiations with China Merchants Port Holdings took a long time, all matters regarding the agreement had been thoroughly discussed for the benefit of both China and Sri Lanka.
He further explained that after 10 years, if Sri Lanka wished to purchase an additional 20 percent stake of the port http://www.edmontonoilersteamstore.com/adidas-esa-tikkanen-jersey , they could do so by purchasing it, resulting in China and Sri Lanka owning an equal share of 50 percent each.
