Despite intra-day brief but strong bounce to 114.07 in New York morning following Trump's comments on his broad economic plans (but lacking in details), renewed broad-based usd selling emerged and knocked the buck to 112.75, price later ratcheted lower to session low of 112.70 at the close before hitting a 7-week trough of 112.53 after hitting light stops below last week's low of 112.57.
However, lack of follow-through selling triggered broad-based short covering n lifted price back up to 113.14.
