The US Dollar Continued to Decline

Yesterday, the US currency continued to decline against the basket of major currencies after the speech by the Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. The US dollar index (#DX) closed in the negative zone (-0.41%). Meanwhile, yesterday it became known that the US and Mexico reached a new agreement on the future of the North American Free Trade Area (NAFTA). This can change the sentiment in the financial markets.

The euro was supported by German IFO business climate index published yesterday, which counted to 103.8 and was better than the expected value of 101.9. Today, investors have taken a wait-and-see attitude before the publication of CB consumer confidence index in the US.

The "black gold" prices are consolidating. At the moment, futures for the WTI crude oil are testing a mark of $68.75 per barrel. At 23:30 (GMT+3:00) the API weekly crude oil stock will be published.
