24 May 2019 : Investors who were looking for an appropriate opportunity to attack the Dollar were given the thumbs up yesterday after official reports showed that the IHS Markit US manufacturing PMI hit a 9-year low this month.

Rising concerns over the prolonged US-China trade disputes negatively impacting the US economy are at threat of playing a leading role in the sudden USD selloff. Markets still expecting the Federal Reserve to cut US interest rates later this year, highlighting that the unexpected Dollar upside in 2019 risks running on borrowed time.

While the perception that the US remains in a far better condition than everyone else could continue supporting the Greenback, and a sudden spell of bad data would threaten this sentiment falling over like a house of cards.
