The US dollar softened slightly as traders awaited the first leg of congressional testimony from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and the European Central Bank's policy announcement. US economic activity saw an uptick through January and February, though inflation and the jobs market sent mixed signals about the speed at which they will cool.
