The U.S. dollar slipped against its major opponents in the
European session on Monday amid risk appetite, as easing political
tensions in Italy and Spain and fresh deal-making news sapped
demand for safe-haven assets.
Trade fears persisted after the weekend trade talks between the
U.S. and China ended without a breakthrough. China warned Sunday
that it will withdraw from commitments made so far on trade if U.S.
President Donald Trump carries out his threat to impose tariffs on
the Asian country.
Meanwhile, Group of Seven finance ministers ended their annual
meeting Saturday with U.S. allies united in condemning Washington's
aggressive protectionism.
The leaders of the G-7 nations,including the U.S., are scheduled
to meet in Charlevoix, Canada, on Friday and Saturday.
On the economic front, the U.S. factory orders are due at 10 am
ET.
The currency traded mixed against its major counterparts in the
Asian session. While it fell against the euro and the pound, it
held steady against the franc. Against the yen, it rose.
The greenback slipped to 0.7660 against the aussie, a level
unseen since April 23. Next key support for the greenback is likely
seen around the 0.775 level.
The greenback dropped to 11-day lows of 1.1737 against the euro
and 1.3399 against the pound, from its early highs of 1.1657 and
1.3340, respectively. If the greenback continues its fall, 1.19 and
1.35 are possibly seen as its next support levels against the euro
and the pound, respectively.
The greenback hit more than a 4-week low of 0.7048 against the
kiwi and a 4-day low of 1.2905 against the loonie, reversing from
its previous highs of 0.6977 and 1.2964, respectively. The next
possible support for the greenback is seen around 0.72 against the
kiwi and 1.27 against the loonie.
Reversing from an early high of 0.9894 against the franc, the
greenback dropped to a 4-day low of 0.9836. The greenback is seen
finding support around the 0.97 region.
The greenback retreated to 109.37 against the yen, from a weekly
high of 109.77 seen at 8:45 pm ET. The greenback is poised to
challenge support around the 108.00 level.
Data from the Bank of Japan showed that Japan monetary base rose
8.1 percent on year in May, coming in at 492.969 trillion yen.
That follows the 7.8 percent increase in April.
In the New York session, U.S. factory orders and durable goods
orders for April are scheduled for release.
