FBI will investigate new Hillary Clinton emails

Felipe Erazo FXStreet

FBI Director James B. Comer has announced in a letter addressed to the Senate Judiciary Committee that the Bureau will re-open its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail server case. This might be related to the recent John Podesta's emails released by Wikileaks, but the FBI hasn't confirmed it officially as the catalyst behind Clinton's probe.

At the time of writing, US dollar is weakening across the board, with USD/MXN rallying up 0.73%, EUR/USD up 0.66%, while USD/JPY is trading down -0.45% at 104.74.
