Traders Tire From Headline Ping-Pong, So Dollar Fluctuates

As rate-cut expectations ebb, Kiwi hits a 4-month high.

The dollar staggers side by side says in Thursday’s report. The U.S. President Donald Trump’s comments ran out of its steam, and investors are on edge over China-U.S. tensions.

To heal the sentiment overnight, Trump said the talks about resolving the damaging trade with China is going very well. Citing familiar people to the discussions, Bloomberg also announced that both sides are closer to the agreement.

The recovery without a recovery stalled in Asian trade, cause of no official confirmation about the “good” trade talks from the Chinese side on Thursday. After that day, Trump announced that the deal might come after the 2020 presidential election.

A senior market analyst at Gain Capital in Singapore, Matt Simpson, said that soon, we would figure out whether it is a dead-cat bounce or a rebound. That is how Simpson looks at the risk at the moment.

Major currency movements were modest. The Swiss franc inched higher to 0.9879 per dollar, while safe-haven Japanese yen was steady at 108.84 per dollar.
