Other data showed the UK trade deficit at 19.4 billion pounds, beating estimated of a deficit of 22.2 billion pound.

The Dollar

 

The dollar index fell 0.6% as of 19:15 GMT to 108.3, with a session-high at 108.8, and a low at 107.3. 

 

US consumer prices, inflation data, will be released later for August. 

 

The data will be pivotal to decide the policy decisions by the Federal Reserve in September.
