The U.S. dollar firmed against its major counterparts in the New York session on Monday, amid rising odds of former President Donald Trump winning the November election.

Recent polls indicated Trump leading US Vice President and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in key battleground states.

Expectations that the Federal Reserve will deliver smaller rate cuts also boosted the dollar.

Dallas Fed President Logan said that she supported gradual rate cuts to help manage the risks and accomplish the goals.

On the economic front, flash PMI numbers on the U.S. manufacturing and the services sectors, durable goods orders, housing market data, the Federal Reserve's Beige Book on regional economic activity and speeches by several Fed officials may influence investor sentiment.
