    THE US dollar underperformed on Wednesday, hitting a five-week trough against a basket of currencies, hurt by waning expectations that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates anytime soon.

    The dollar index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of six rivals, edged down 0.15 per cent to 93.694 after dropping as low as 93.68, its lowest since May 6.
