The U.S. dollar climbed against its major counterparts in the New York session on Tuesday ahead of the release of key inflation data that could influence the Federal Reserve's future policy.

Reports on U.S. consumer and producer price inflation are due to be released on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.

The CPI is expected to increase to 2.7 percent year-over-year, up from 2.6 percent in October.

The report is significant before the Fed meeting due next week.
