Dollar Up Over COVID-19 Worries

FxPremiere.com – FX Signals The dollar was up on Wednesday morning in Asia near a four-month high, as COVID-19 concerns, potential U.S. tax hikes, and tensions over tit-for-tat sanctions between China and the West turned investors towards the safe-haven asset.

The U.S. Dollar Index that tracks the greenback against a basket of other currencies inched up 0.04% to 92.382 by 12:18 AM ET (4:18 AM GMT).

The USD/JPY pair inched down 0.05% to 108.50.

The AUD/USD pair was down 0.21% to 0.7606 and the NZD/USD pair was down 0.30% to 0.6983.

The USD/CNY pair inched up 0.10% to 6.5227. The sanctions imposed on China by the U.S., Europe, and the U.K. over human rights issues, prompting the former to retaliate with sanctions of its own, continue to add to investor market concerns.

The GBP/USD pair edged down 0.17% to 1.3727.

The dollar index rose to a two-week high as the Asian session opened and was near the four-month record of 92.506 set earlier in the month. The index “looks determined to test the top end of a new, higher 91-93 range we think will form in coming weeks,” Westpac analysts said in a note.
