The dollar index rose 0.3% to 103.03 as of 14:38 GMT, with a session-high at 103.2.

 

China

 

China is the world's largest metals and commodities consumer, therefore any issues there impact the market.

 

China's People's Central Bank announced a cut in in main interest rates on house mortgages to support the economy. 

 

Shanghai is also starting to relax restrictions on movements for the citizens and Covid 19 infections decline. 

 

Copper futures due in July rose 0.3% to $4.29 a pound as of 14:30 GMT.
