The US dollar clung to advances against its major counterparts Tuesday, gaining support as the euro dropped overnight on raising woes Greece could default on its debt obligations and eventually leave the eurozone.

The greenback traded at $1.0739 per euro. Against the Japanese yen, the currency was at ¥119.29.
