US Dollar (USD) continues its extended slide, pressured by a combination of factors: fears of a full-blown Sino-US trade war, a prolonged US government shutdown, and growing expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) may be forced to accelerate its easing cycle.
The US Dollar (USD) continues to weaken against its major rivals, pressured by the uncertainty surrounding the US-China trade relations and a prolonged US government shutdown, which is stretching into a third week.
Markets react to renewed threats from US President Donald Trump to terminate some trade ties with China over agricultural concerns.
The ongoing US government shutdown is entering its third week with no resolution in sight. The Senate returns today and is expected to vote again on a House-passed measure to fund the government.
Markets adopt a cautious stance to begin the week after United States (US) President Donald Trump announced late Friday that the US will impose 100% tariffs on Chinese imports.
The US government shutdown continues, with Democrats and Republicans failing to make any progress on reopening the government, and the Senate will not return until Tuesday.
