The U.S. dollar weakened against other major currencies in the
European session on Friday, as investor sentiment was buoyed by
hopes of a resolution to the Ukraine war and President Trump's
decision to delay the implementation of his much-hyped additional
tariffs on foreign goods. Fears of an impending worldwide trade war
have subsided in light of this scenario.
U.S. President Donald Trump has signed a Presidential memo on
reciprocal tariffs for more balanced trade, with Howard Lutnick,
Trump's Commerce Secretary nominee, saying he anticipates the
investigation will be complete by April 1.
It is then up to Trump to decide, as of April 2, when to enact
any of the new recommended tariffs, he said.
In the European trading today, the U.S. dollar fell to nearly a
3-week low of 1.0488 against the euro and a 1-1/2-month low of
1.2596 against the pound, from early highs of 1.0447 and 1.2550,
respectively. If the greenback extends its downtrend, it is likely
to find support around 1.09 against the euro and 1.29 against the
pound.
Against the yen and the Swiss franc, the greenback dropped to a
2-day low of 152.40 and an 8-day low of 0.9012 from early highs of
153.10 and 0.9050, respectively. The greenback may test support
near 150.00 against the yen and 0.89 against the franc.
Against Australia, the New Zealand and the Canadian dollars, the
greenback slipped to nearly a 2-month low of 0.6345, nearly a
3-week low of 0.5711 and more than a 2-month low of 1.4157 from
early highs of 0.6310, 0.5676 and 1.4201, respectively. The next
possible support for the greenback are seen around 0.64 against the
aussie, 0.58 against the kiwi and 1.40 against the loonie.
Looking ahead, Canada manufacturing and wholesale sales data for
December, U.S. import and export prices data, retail sales and
industrial production for January, U.S. business inventories for
December and U.S. Baker Hughes oil rig count data are slated for
release.
