The US dollar is being traded without significant changes against a basket of currencies. Yesterday, the dollar index (#DX) closed in the negative zone (-0.07%). Investors also expect important US economic statistics to be released today.
Persisting optimism regarding the early resolution of the US-China trade conflict supports the US dollar. Donald Trump said the night before that Washington was in the final stages of work on a trade agreement with China, after a telephone conversation between representatives of both countries on Tuesday.
At the same time, the US President drew attention to the fact that the United States intended to support the protesters in Hong Kong, and it could strain relations with China. It should be also recalled that Washington will impose additional duties on Chinese imports on December 15, if both sides do not reach an agreement by this time.
