The dollar was almost flat on Wednesday as investors took profits after reaching a one-month high early in the session versus a group of currencies as U.S. data showed robust growth in retail sales and consumer prices in January. The dollar index, which measures the currency against its six major peers, inched down 0.07 percent at 101.18 as U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen offered no additional insight on the timing of the central bank's next rate hike. The euro rose 0.20 percent at $1.0598 against the greenback. Against the yen, the dollar was down 0.09 percent at 114.15. The euro is expected to meet resistance and support against the dollar at $1.0670 and $1.0500 respectively, while the dollar is expected to meet resistance and support against the yen at 115.50 and 113.00 respectively.
