USD
The Dollar extended its decline yesterday to 96.5 (DXY) amid a boost of risk appetite brought on by a clarification from the White House that the China-US trade deal was still on. White House trade adviser Peter Navarro sent markets reeling mentioning that the Trade Deal was “over”, this was later clarified as “being taken out of context” and clarified by Trump and the White House. PMIs came out mixed as Composite and Services missed their forecasts while Manufacturing beat forecast at 49.6. USD/SGD is currently on downwards trend and trading at 1.388 mark.
