The U.S. dollar fell against the euro and Japanese yen Tuesday after Europe's finance ministers rallied around the shared European currency and speculation grew about the possible revaluation of China's yuan People's Bank of China Governor Zhou Xiaochuan reiterated that China wants to reform its currency regime, while U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, participating via a video linkup, repeated previous comments that it would be good for China to stop pegging the yuan tightly to the U.S. dollar.
