The US dollar fell against most major rivals during trading hours today amid a broad anticipation of the British parliament crucial voting session on the draft Brexit deal tomorrow.

 

The UK House of Commons is due to vote on a tentative draft deal Britain's departure from the EU in an orderly fashion.

 

While in case the parliament voted against the deal, Britain would likely be forced to exit without a deal, which poses large economic risks.

 

Otherwise, the Chinese Government showed today that the GDP grew by 6% during the third quarter, lower than market forecasts of 6.1%.

 

Vice Chairman of the US Federal Reserve, Richard Clarida, said that the US economy is still prone to risks posed by trade war and weak inflation.
