Concerns still prevails in the market as US President Donald Trump warned last week that he was ready to levy additional tariffs on practically all Chinese imports, while China is prepared to ask the World Trade Organization next week for permission to impose sanctions on the United States.
The U.S. dollar rebounded from losses and was trading 0.1 percent firmer, making dollar-denominated assets such as commodities more expensive for buyers using other currencies.
Last night the US dollar fell against the Canadian dollar, which was buoyed by a resumed North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) trade negotiations between the two counties Tuesday.

Trading Ideas:
–Nickel trading range for the day is 874.2-909.6.
–Nickel dropped as an intensifying trade war between Washington and Beijing raised concerns over demand for industrial metals in top consumer China.
–China will respond if the United States takes any new steps on trade, after U.S. President Donald Trump warned he was ready to slap tariffs.
–China’s trade surplus with US widened to a record in August even as its export growth slowed slightly, an outcome that could push Trump to turn up the heat on Beijing.
