The dollar index was quoted down 0.13%, last seen around 97.06 during early Asian trading session. According to reports, Trump and Xi has agreed to keep their trade war from escalating by promising to halt the imposition of new tariffs for 90 days. At the same time, China has agreed to buy a \u201csubstantial\u201d amount of agricultural, industrial and energy products from the US. The truce between two economic giants emerged after a highly anticipated meeting on the sidelines of G20 summit in Argentina. Following the report, risk appetite returned into the market with higher demand for Australian dollar, New Zealand dollar and Chinese yuan. Likewise, equities from emerging market also received higher demand while safe-havens such as Japanese yen and Swiss Franc slipped lower. For the week, investors will place their focus on the highly anticipated US jobs report for fresh indication of US monetary policy in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the commodities market, crude oil price skyrocketed 3.06% to $52.15 per barrel.
