YEREVAN, May 22. /ARKA/. The U.S. dollar slipped Wednesday, trading down against major rivals as investors waited to hear Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s view of the U.S. economy and what that may mean for the Fed’s current easing program.

Minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting earlier this month were also scheduled for release later Wednesday, at 2 p.m. U.S. Eastern time.

The ICE dollar index DXY +0.03% , a gauge of the greenback’s movement against six other major currencies, sat at 83.779, down from 83.877 late Tuesday in North America, when the greenback was on an uptrend.
