TAKE-A-LOOK: US dollar, world stocks fall after mixed data

 The U.S. dollar fell against major currencies on Tuesday, pressured by
Russian angling for a new global reserve currency, while stocks fell on renewed
worries whether the ailing world economy was on the path to recovery.
 Oil gave back early gains as the dollar strengthened while U.S. Treasury
bond prices rose after the Federal Reserve bought a surprisingly large $6.5
billion in government debt.
 Concerns that the pace of economic recovery may be more tepid than
initially thought forced a retreat in a broad equity advance in Europe and the
United States.
