The US dollar is trading higher on Tuesday after rumors that the European Commission is working on a solution with Greece. China also reported a weaker than expected inflation in January, opening the door to further monetary easing from the PBoC.
The 10-Y Treasurys rose to 2% and fueled USD while hit the Japanese Yen. Stocks opened to the upside while the oil declined after 3 positive days. The WTI broke below the S1 and currently is pricing at $50.90.
The US dollar index $DXY is advancing 0.20% on the day to the current 94.68. That led the dollar to be the winner of the day and to post the top four movers to the upside: USD/BRL, +1.89% to 2.8190; USD/ZAR, +0.98% to 11.702; USD/RUB, 0.89% to 66.318; and the USD/JPY, 0.53% to 119.27.
To the downside, losers of the day are: EUR/NOK, -0.71% to 8.5575; USD/NOK, -0.67% to 7.5639; and the AUD/USD, -0.54% to 0.7758. The Aussie is trading down as declining oil prices and China weak domestic demand is adding pressure to the AUD as China is the first exportation partner of Australia.
