The U.S. dollar weakened against other major currencies in the
Asian session on Monday amid increasing risk-on mood by the
investors, with markets in Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand
shut due to the Easter holiday, following progress in tariff
discussions between the Trump administration and other major
economies.
U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to fire Fed Chair Powell
over rate cuts and released an eight-point list targeting what he
calls "non-tariff cheating" by foreign nations -- a warning he said
could impact diplomatic and trade ties with the United States.
White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett said on Friday that
the president and his team are examining the legal feasibility of
removing Powell and that had acted politically to benefit
Democrats.
Just a day before, Trump blasted Powell on for not lowering
interest rates, calling him "always TOO LATE AND WRONG."
Meanwhile, U.S.-China relations continued to sour, with China's
Commerce Ministry saying it would retaliate against nations
cooperating with the USA's tariff wars.
In the Asian trading now, the U.S. dollar fell to nearly a
3-1/2-year low of 1.1534 against the euro and nearly a 7-month low
of 1.3398 against the pound, from Friday's closing quotes of 1.1391
and 1.3294, respectively. If the greenback extends its downtrend,
it is likely to find support around 1.17 against the euro and 1.35
against the pound.
Against the yen and the Swiss franc, the greenback dropped to
more than a 7-month low of 140.62 and more than a 10-year low of
0.8070 from last week's closing quotes of 142.17 and 0.8162,
respectively. The greenback may test support near 139.00 against
the yen and 0.79 against the franc.
Against the Australia, the New Zealand and the Canadian dollars,
the greenback slipped to nearly a 4-1/2-month low of 0.6431, a
5-1/2-month low of 0.6014 and more than a 6-month low of 1.3792
from last week's closing quotes of 0.6376, 0.5937 and 1.3848,
respectively. The greenback may test support near 0.66 against the
aussie, 0.61 against the kiwi and 1.36 against the loonie.
Looking ahead, U.S. Consumer Board's leading index for March is
slated for release in the New York session.
