(Bloomberg) —The rally in the dollar petered out as investors awaited fresh triggers for trades from upcoming Federal Reserve speeches and U.S. economic data. Asian stocks were mixed at the open after American benchmarks closed at record highs.

The Bloomberg dollar index hovered around its highest since April, consolidating gains made the past three weeks on speculation of further Fed monetary tightening, the potential for a more-aggressive U.S. central bank chief and the chance of American tax cuts. A number of Fed speakers are on the schedule later this week, and Friday brings the monthly employment report, though that might be a cloudier gauge than usual due to the impact of hurricanes.

Bonds crept higher, pulling down yields on benchmark Treasuries and Australian government debt. Crude traded around $50 a barrel as the market awaits reports on U.S. inventories. Markets in South Korea, China and Taiwan are closed for a holiday.

Among the key events coming this week:

India’s central bank on Wednesday will probably hold its benchmark rate at a seven-year low and maintain its neutral stance, given inflation is picking up. Still, the central bank is expected to paint a subdued picture of India’s economy and could downgrade its forecasts for growth. Government and industry are pushing for easing. ADP employment data for September is due Wednesday, with the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey calling for a 135,000 increase in private payrolls, compared with 237,000 in August. Also this week are data on trade, durable goods and Friday’s September nonfarm payrolls report. China is due to report monthly foreign-exchange reserves Thursday. Minutes of the last ECB meeting are the European economic highlight this week.Here are the main moves in markets:
