The U.S. dollar traded mixed against other major currencies Monday as investors were speculating when the U.S. Federal Reserve will start to trim its monetary stimulus policy.

As no major economic data was due Monday, investors were looking for any hints on Fed tapering plans from minutes of the latest meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee, the policy setting arm of the U.S. Federal Reserve, scheduled for release Wednesday.

Meanwhile, U.S monetary policy makers will meet in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, from Thursday to Saturday to discuss economic situation and monetary policy.
