The U.S. dollar depreciated to more than a 10-year low of 0.8024 against the Swiss franc, nearly a 4-year low of 1.1717 against the euro and a 3-1/2-year low of 1.3725 against the pound, from yesterday's closing quotes of 0.8038, 1.1684 and 1.3689, respectively.

The greenback dropped to a 2-day low of 144.57 against the yen, from Wednesday's closing value of 144.92.

Against the Australia and the New Zealand dollars, the greenback dropped to an 8-day low of 0.6536 and a 9-day low of 0.6066 from yesterday's closing quotes of 0.6521 and 0.6054, respectively.

Moving away from a recent high of 1.3723 against the Canadian dollar, the greenback slipped to a 2-day low of 1.3701.
