Dollar erases gains at US noon amid Greenspan rumors

NEW YORK, Aug 11 (Reuters) - The dollar stood unchanged against the yen and euro at midday Wednesday after relinquishing its meager gains earlier on rumors Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan might resign.

``That seems to have caused the dollar to lose some of its bid tone,' one trader said. ``Any official at the Treasury or the Fed considering resigning would be dollar-bearish.'
