The US dollar weakened against the basket of major currencies during yesterday’s trading. The US dollar index (#DX) closed in the negative zone (-0.10%). However, demand for the US currency is at a fairly high level. The sentiment of the financial market participants turned up after it became known that this month the US-China negotiations would be held, where the countries would try to settle the trade conflict.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, economic data were also published. The volume of retail sales in the UK increased by 0.7% in July instead of the expected 0.2%. The number of building permits issued in the US increased by 1.5% to 1.311M in July, while experts forecasted a value of 1.310M. However, the Philadelphia Fed manufacturing index fell to 11.9 instead of 21.9. We expect statistics from the Eurozone and Canada.<\/p>\n

The “black gold” prices are declining. At the moment, futures for the WTI crude oil are testing a mark of $65.40 per barrel.<\/p>\n

Market Indicators<\/h2>\n

At the moment, the 10-year US government bonds yield is at the level of 2.86%-2.87%.<\/p>
