US Dollar fell against most major currencies on Tuesday as concerns about the US-China trade war returned.

 

US housing starts fell by 0.9% to 1.253 million units in June and the Building Permits Index fell by 6.1% to 1.22 million.

 

US President Donald Trump said yesterday that despite the resumption of trade negotiations with China, the road is still long before talking about a comprehensive agreement between the two countries.

 

Trump stressed that the US administration could still impose more tariffs on imports of Chinese goods worth an additional $325 billion.

 

Markets will be focusing on the Federal Reserve meeting later this month to see the rate decision amid expectations of a cut.

 

In terms of trading, by 17:43 GMT, the dollar index fell by 0.2 percent to 97.2 points, reaching a high of 97.4 points and a low of 97.1 points.
