More on the Greenback

Despite its gains from the euro, the greenback is in for a wild and volatile ride this Tuesday’s trading. Experts say that the strength of the USD comes from Trump’s trade war against China.

US President Donald Trump has previously blamed the US Federal Reserve for the strength of the dollar. However, critics and investors do not agree with the president.

Because of the tension, the US dollar remains in the options of traders along with other safe haven assets.

Aside from the euro, the USD also gained against the AUD but has lost against the GBP.
