Loading...Asian stocks were mixed on Tuesday, as the dollar remained soft amid uncertainty over U.S. President Donald Trump's policies and his withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.
Withdrawing from the TPP agreement was a promise Trump had made in his presidential campaign, saying it would protect American workers. The 12-nation trade deal was negotiated by former President Barack Obama's administration as a key pillar in his pivot to Asia.
Meanwhile, Trump also told business leaders on Monday that his administration could cut regulations by 75 percent or "maybe more" although further details were not given.

USD - The dollar remains weak against it's main competitors. But this may soon be changed. One of the first acts of the new US president was to do what was promised and to turn down TPP for US. Now the investors are waiting to see if the other promises are going to be fulfilled.
CAD - The canadian dollar may be facing big problems before Trump. If after NAFTA's re-start negotiations are negative for Canada more than in this moment, that will complicate the trade of the country and this will be highly negative for the currency. Usually the canadian dollar is moving along with the oil, higher priced oil= higher CAD, and at the moment expectations are for rising oil price.
JPY - Yen remains the strongest currency in the market. During economic or political uncertainty, the currency is favored by the investors as a save asset. We remain bullish toward the yen in short-term period.
EUR - The EUR is strong against it's most competitors. The weakened dollar is positive for the common currency. Today we are expecting data from Germany for Manufacturing PMI. If the data is better than expected we will most likely to see surge of the EUR. During the data we are expecting high volatility.
