The U.S. dollar weakened against a basket of major currencies as optimism surrounding a potential U.S.-China trade deal boosted global risk appetite.
Investors moved away from safe-haven assets like the dollar, seeking higher returns in riskier markets. Key developments contributing to this sentiment include positive remarks from President Trump about an imminent trade deal with China, expected to be discussed at an upcoming meeting with President Xi Jinping.
Additionally, positive political developments in Argentina and hawkish comments from the Reserve Bank of Australia supported other currencies. While central bank meetings this week, including potential rate cuts from the Federal Reserve and Bank of Canada, are being closely watched, the immediate market focus is on the trade optimism.
The Dollar Index saw a slight dip, while currencies like the Euro and Australian Dollar experienced gains.
