Dollar falls after Beige Book, retail sales

``The dollar weakened against its main rivals Wednesday after a spate of weak economic data and the Federal Reserve's Beige Book painted a troubling picture of the U.S. economy... U.S. producer prices fell 0.5% in September, outpacing an expected decline of 0.2% from a survey of economists conducted by MarketWatch, while retail-sales increased by just 0.1% in September. A measure of retail sales in August was revised lower to show no change.''
