Current trend

Yesterday, the pair moved sideways. The US-China trade war is still the focus of investors' attention. On Tuesday, it became known that next week China intends to ask the WTO for permission to impose economic sanctions against the US in the framework of the 2013 dispute. Then, Washington introduced anti-dumping duties against a number of Chinese goods, which WTO recognized as illegal, but the organization's decisions are not being implemented in the US, which forces the PRC to take retaliatory measures.

The dollar remains strong in anticipation of an increase in Fed rates this month, as well as a rise in the yield of 10-year government bonds.
