The dollar index, which tracks the greenback versus a basket of six currencies, edged down 0.05 percent to 97.383. The yen was last up 0.01 percent against the dollar at 119.17 yen and the euro was at $1.0899, up 0.15 percent.
Gold fell, ending a seven-day rally on investor caution ahead of Yellen’s comments. Spot gold eased 0.5 percent to $1,198.30 an ounce.
U.S. crude closed off 5 percent at $48.87 a barrel while Brent ended down 4.7 percent at $56.41.
But oil prices still notched their second straight weekly gain, boosted by the dollar’s recent weakness after a year-long rally.
