The dollar remained steady against major peers on Tuesday, after a pause in its rally following a slight dovish shift in Federal Reserve officials' tone.

Moves in the Asia session were small as traders waited on further Fed appearances later in the day, Fed minutes on Wednesday and U.S. inflation data on Thursday for more guidance on the trend in interest rates.

The Australian and New Zealand dollars made one-week highs before falling back to flat - leaving the Aussie at $0.6411 and kiwi at $0.6015.

Sterling, last at $1.2224 and the euro, at $1.0561, traded broadly steady.

The yen dipped marginally, handing back some of its small gains. It was last about 0.1% lower at 147.7 per dollar.
