Though the Fed reaction and oil price surge were the markets' main drivers, they were not the only factors in play.
The yen added to the dollar's pressures as the head of the Bank of Japan disappointed investors who had expected clearer signals that Tokyo's monetary policy would be eased further this month.

The dollar dropped 0.7 percent to 103.27 yen JPY= having gained more than 4 percent against the Japanese currency in the last six days. The euro EUR= nudged up 0.2 percent.
UBS's head of currency strategy Constantin Bolz said the factors that had driven the dollar higher - growing expectations of a Fed hike in September, bets on imminent further BOJ easing, and increased risk appetite - had faded somewhat, but that a fall-back was not surprising given the rapidity of the move.
"We shouldn't forget that we were at 100 yen ten days ago," Bolz said.

"But there's plenty of anecdotal evidence to indicate that the initial shock of the June vote has begun to dissipate."

Friday's U.S. jobs report showed non-farm payrolls rose by 151,000 jobs in August after an upwardly revised 275,000 increase in July. Economists polled by Reuters had expected a rise of 180,000. Fed Funds futures prices indicated investors were now pricing in around a 20 percent chance of a September hike down from over 30 percent before the jobs data. It remains at more than 60 percent by the end of year.
