Dollar edges higher as Mideast, US midterms eyed

(Reuters) --"The sad way to put it is that we're just getting very mixed messages... it's kind of like one step forward and then another one backward. So ​it's a little bit confusing, a little bit frustrating," said Juan Perez, senior director of trading at Monex USA in Washington. "My overall take is the US dollar has room to lose, and part of it is because you now no longer have consensus when it comes to the Federal Reserve. And the other thing is, if you are going to have government ​or political friction, which is more likely the case, that's probably likely going to lead to a dollar negativity."
