The US Currency Is Declining

The US dollar is declining against currency majors. The US dollar index closed in the red zone (-0.61%). White House Trade Adviser Peter Navarro said his comments that the deal with China would not take place were taken out of context and had nothing to do with the truth. US President Donald Trump also said, in turn, that the phase one trade deal with China remains fully in force. Also, yesterday, the Washington administration announced the development of a new $1 trillion stimulus package.
