The dollar fell sharply, helping gold prices to mount a further advance beyond the psychologically important $1,200 level, as President Donald Trump announced his administration had reached a bilateral deal with Mexico. The U.S. dollar index, which measures the greenback against a trade-weighted basket of six major currencies, fell by 0.46% to 94.64.
Trump suggested a United States-Mexico Trade Agreement replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). But this still paves the way for Canada to rejoin talks, bringing Trump a step closer to overhauling NAFTA, reducing investor fears over a full-blown trade war.
Last night the US dollar slumped to the lowest in four weeks at 94.76 while the Mexican peso climbed higher after the two countries reached a preliminary trade deal that could replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
Now Market participants should monitor developments such as Germany’s actual monthly retail sales in July, US wholesale inventories in July, and its Conference Board (CB) consumer confidence index for August.
Trading Ideas:
–Nickel trading range for the day is 925.8-940.6.
–Nickel prices traded in range due to lack of direction as LME was closed but current low inventories likely to bolster prices.
–China is likely to produce 400,000 mt, in metal content, of high-grade nickel pig iron (NPI) within this year.
–Domestic production of high-grade NPI picked up after nationwide environmental reviews from May to June.
