* The dollar was testing a two-month low against its major partners early on Tuesday, still under pressure after weak data from the manufacturing sector on Monday that encouraged hopes of an early 'pivot' from the Federal Reserve.

* Asian currencies inched lower on Tuesday amid growing uncertainty over economic growth this year, while the Australian dollar retreated after the Reserve Bank held interest rates and signaled that inflation had likely peaked.

The U.S. dollar index, which measures the greenback against a trade-weighted basket of six major currencies, fell by 0.45% to 101.72.

* The dollar stumbled on Monday, surrendering earlier gains following unexpected oil output cuts from OPEC+, as data showed the U.S. economy continued to slow with declines in manufacturing and construction spending.
