LONDON—The dollar fell again on Tuesday, while risk-sensitive currencies such as the British pound gained and the Australian dollar recovered from an overnight drop.

After falling nearly 5 percent in January, world equities started February slightly firmer and currency markets have also changed course. After hitting a 19-month high last week, the U.S. dollar index fell on Monday and on Tuesday was down 0.3 percent on the day at 96.395 at 0811 GMT.
