Asian session review: the dollar has stabilized against the euro and the yen

During today's Asian trading, the US dollar was trading steadily against the euro and the yen

Traders are assessing the statements of US President Donald Trump regarding China, and are also waiting for the next meeting of the European Central Bank (ECB). Trump said on Monday that he intends to sever ties between the American economy and China if he is re-elected as President. In addition, Trump promised to punish companies that "want to leave America to create jobs in China and other countries."

Traders ' attention is focused on the upcoming ECB meeting, as its results may seriously affect the dynamics of the euro. Statements by chief economist Philip Lane last week triggered a fall in the euro from the highest level in more than two years at $1.2, and experts will closely monitor the Central Bank's rhetoric for its concern about the recent strengthening of the euro.

"The key question is whether ECB chief Christine Lagarde will try to prevent the resumption of bullish momentum for the euro against the dollar," Rabobank analysts said.

The pound fell against the dollar amid growing doubts that the UK will be able to negotiate with the EU in the near future. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced yesterday that a trade agreement with the EU must be concluded by October 15, otherwise it will not be. This week, investors expect another round of talks between London and Brussels.

The ICE index, which tracks the dynamics of the US dollar against six currencies (euro, swiss franc, yen, canadian dollar, pound sterling and swedish krona), rose by 0.38%.
