TOKYO, Jan 23 (Reuters) - The dollar skidded in Asian trade on Monday, with the euro hitting its highest levels in more than a month as investors locked in gains on the greenback's recent rise as they waited for U.S. President Donald Trump to offer details of his promised stimulus.
The euro firmed 0.4 percent on the day to $1.07400 after earlier rising to $1.07460, its highest since Dec. 8.
That helped push down the dollar against a currency basket, with the dollar index down 0.4 percent on the day to 100.37 .
"The dollar is being sold off pretty aggressively, with the euro at the highs. It's across-the-board dollar selling, not just the risk on/risk off trade," said Bart Wakabayashi, head of Hong Kong FX sales at State Street Global Markets.
"It seems to be driven by uncertainty right now, and Trump's inauguration speech has led the way there," he said.
After a sharp rally following Trump's November election that propelled it 3 percent higher for the month, the dollar gave up some of those gains against a backdrop of uncertainty surrounding the new president's policies, as well as his recent remarks about the impact of dollar strength.
Trump's first address as president on Friday highlighted his "America first" policies that were short on specific proposals, and disappointed investors hoping for details on his plans to stoke growth, spend on infrastructure and reduce taxes.
His inauguration was followed a day later by coordinated protests in U.S. cities that attracted hundreds of thousands of demonstrators.
Trump said on Sunday he plans to hold talks soon with the leaders of Canada and Mexico to begin renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement, and his administration has also said it intends to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade pact.
Against the perceived safe-haven yen, the dollar slumped 1 percent to 113.55, moving back toward last week's seven-week nadir of 112.57 yen.
"Trump hasn't said anything new and hasn't done anything yet, so people wait and see," said Kaneo Ogino, director at foreign exchange research firm Global-info Co in Tokyo. "We have to see what kind of policies he actually follows."
Asian forex trading this week is likely to be subdued as some investors prepare for the long Lunar New Year holiday, he added.
Data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission released on Friday and calculations by Reuters showed that speculators reduced long bets on the U.S. dollar for a second straight week through Jan. 17.
