The U.S. currency declined versus all 16 of the most- actively traded currencies except the yen after Fed Governor Randall Kroszner said conditions for subprime-mortgage borrowers may worsen. It dropped the most against the South African rand, falling 1.2 percent.

The U.S. currency dropped to an all-time low of $1.4556 per euro before trading at $1.4547 as of 7:03 a.m. in New York, from $1.4469 late yesterday. The dollar may fall to $1.46 in the coming days, Hettinger said.
