Greenback flattens as market hold back.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Greenback was traded flat while market participants continues to scrutinize further developments in the United States with regards to trade war and economic data releases. During Asian trading session, the dollar index ticked down 0.01% to 96.07. Traders adopt a \u201cwait-and-see\u201d approach as they remained cautious following dovish comments delivered by the US Federal Reserve last week. According to Fed Chair Jerome Powell, he suggested that the central bank may held off from raising interest rates further as growth outlook in the US and rest of the world turned towards bearish. In terms of trade war, top Chinese official announced on Sunday that they will work to boost up their imports and achieve a more balance of trade with the United States, a few days before latest round of talks kickstart in Beijing (March 28th<\/sup>). However, a separate report stated that China will not concede to US demands to ease curbs on technologies companies, providing mixed signals to the market with regards to US-China trade talk. Against other major currencies, pair of GBP\/USD was down by 0.08% to 1.3198 while EUR\/USD slipped 0.13% to 1.1298.<\/p>\n
