    NEW YORK, May 1 (Reuters) - The dollar fell on Wednesday after the U.S. Federal Reserve signaled it is still leaning towards eventual reductions in borrowing costs, but noted recent disappointing inflation readings and suggested a possible stall in the movement towards more balance in the economy.

    "In recent months, there has been a lack of further progress towards the Committee's 2% inflation objective," the Fed said in the statement.

    The dollar index =USD was last down 0.23% at 106.08, while the euro EUR=EBS gained 0.24% to $1.0691. Against the Japanese yen JPY=EBS , the dollar weakened 0.22% to 157.44.
