Dollar index fall as trade tension eases. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dollar index which measures the currency against a basket of rivals slumped on Tuesday amid easing trade tensions between U.S. and China, spurring some risk-on sentiment in the FX market while diminishing the demand for the safe-haven asset such as the Greenback. According to Reuters, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed on Tuesday that the first phase of an American trade deal with China would be signed on 15th<\/sup> January 2020 at the U.S. White House, though considerable confusions remains about the details of the agreement. Besides that, the dollar index received a further bearish momentum following the bleak data from the United States was released. According to Conference Board, U.S. CB Consumer Confidence notched down from the previous reading of 126.8 to 126.5, missing the economist forecast at 128.2. Such negative data has dialed down the market optimism towards the economic progression in the United States, which spurring some selloff for the Greenback. On the other hand, the trade-sensitive currency such as the New Zealand dollar surged on Tuesday as the acceleration of risk appetite in the FX market with the concern of U.S.-China trade relationship significantly better. However, investors would still continue to scrutinize the latest updates with regards of the U.S.-China trade deal in order to obtain further trading signal until the trade problem has resolved completely. As of writing, the dollar index surged 0.06% to 96.09 while the New Zealand dollar appreciated by 0.21% to 0.6732.<\/p>\n
