President Trump accused China and Russia of depreciating their currencies, breaking from his own administration’s view that no major trading partners are currency manipulators.
Trump took to Twitter on Monday to declare that China and Russia are playing what he called a “currency devaluation game” at a time when the U.S. Federal Reserve is raising interest rates. “Not acceptable!’’ Trump wrote.
The attack added fuel to the brewing trade dispute between the U.S. and China and drew swift criticism from Russia, which the White House recently imposed sanctions on and collided with over Syria. The Bloomberg Dollar Index moved down to its lowest level since March 26 after Trump’s tweet, while Treasuries fluctuated.
On the other side, the release of China’s GDP is 6.8 % after the forecast which was 6.8% too.
