- Senate runoffs in Georgia is watched, which could have a big impact on incoming U.S. President Joe Biden's economic policies. Democratic win could trigger further dollar weakness, as investors assume it would lead to higher stimulus spending which would in turn boost market sentiment and weigh on the dollar.

- The dollar also was undercut by fears of a post-holiday pandemic surge, which would be bearish for U.S. economic growth and dovish for Fed policy.

- Meanwhile, the euro gained its strength from last week's Brexit agreement and on the EU-China investment agreement news.
