LONDON, July 26 (Reuters) - The dollar fell to a five-week low against a basket of currencies on Friday as caution that the U.S. Federal Reserve may deliver a downbeat message at next week's policy meeting prompted traders to trim long positions.
Traders cited a Wall Street Journal report that the U.S. central bank may debate changing its forward guidance to emphasise the message it will keep rates low for a long time.
The dollar index fell 0.5 percent on the day to 81.579, its lowest since June 20.
The euro also rose to a five-week peak against the dollar of $1.32975.
