Mnuchin cushions the greenback from further losses.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The greenback inches off five-months low versus the Japanese counterpart on Tuesday following comments from US Treasury Steven Mnuchin while higher debt yields provided additional support on the currency. From an interview with the Financial Times, Mnuchin agreed with US President Donald Trump\u2019s view that the dollar strength in the short-term will reduce their export competitiveness. However, he postulated that the long-term effect of such dollar resilience could bring more positivity to the country. Otherwise, its gains remained capped as United States will begin their first economic dialogue with Japan later today. Concerns arises over United States possibility to take a tougher trade stance against Japan whom Trump complains that it and other countries had previously weakened their currencies artificially to gain competitive trade advantage. Likewise, the dollar index was up 0.03% to 100.17 while pairing of USD\/JPY appreciated by 0.19% to 109.11.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Looking into the commodities market, crude oil price edged further up as the market look ahead to comments by US Vice President Mike Pence in Tokyo over continued tension on the Korean Peninsula prior to the release of US crude oil inventories estimates by American Petroleum Institute. On the other hand, gold price was trade lower, trimming 0.34% to $1,284.97 while downside remained limited due to ongoing geopolitical tensions.<\/p>\n
