The dollar was trading close to a 7-week low against a basket of other major currencies amid lingering market concerns about the protectionist policies of Donald Trump. The weakness of the dollar reflects concerns about the uncertain economic Trump policy, as well as fears that his protectionist stance can reduce corporate earnings and become a brake on economic growth.
On Monday, Trump has initiated a formal process of US withdrawal from participation in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). It separates the United States from its Asian allies.
Trump also announced his intention to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Area (NAFTA) with Canada and Mexico to the conditions more favorable for the United States.
The pound fell slightly against the dollar. The pair GBP/USD slipped by 0.34% to 1.2488.
