Analyst: Concerns about growth and policy uncertainty lead to simultaneous decline in the dollar and U.S. bond yields

In a message from ChainCatcher, Pepperstone strategist Michael Brown stated in his report that due to concerns about the US economy losing momentum under Trump's leadership and increased policy uncertainty, the dollar has fallen with US bond yields.

The Trump administration is doubling down on the concept of trading short-term economic pain for long-term gains. The persistently weak sentiment is driving yields lower, putting pressure on the dollar. "A broader flight from assets denominated in dollars also played a role." Meanwhile, markets will be watching for data on U.S job vacancies to be released tonight; if the data is weak it will exacerbate existing market tensions over weakening economic momentum.
