Oil prices fell although the USD decline
The dollar fell against most of the major currencies during trading today, Tuesday, in light of the close follow-up by investors of the developments in the presidential elections in the United States.
The markets are closely watching this week the first election debate between the Republican candidate for the US presidential elections, “Donald Trump” and his Democratic rival, “Joe Biden.”
Analysts cast a negative view of the dollar due to the US elections and expect more volatility in financial market movements.
Trump’s popularity has declined in recent opinion polls, while his rival, Joe Biden, has taken steps against him, but US President Trump’s campaign sees these polls as false.
Later this week, the monthly jobs report in the United States will be released to know the state of the labor market, while next Thursday, the final reading of the GDP will be released.
