FOREX: The weaker dollar theme seen in US markets....

FOREX: The weaker dollar theme seen in US markets as Trump's decision to dissolve two business councils and Fed's inflation concerns carried over into Asia markets, leaving the greenback better offered against many of its peers. Dollar-yen trekked lower from Y110.22 to Y109.67 and was last at Y109.90. Aussie rose from $0.7923 to $0.7949, local jobs data was seen as mixed, while the number of jobs created in July was better than expected, the gains were made from part-time jobs, with full-time employment having fallen. Aussie was last $0.7936. Euro-dollar climbed higher from $1.1765 to $1.1790, but ran into option supply, last at $1.1779. Meanwhile, Cable pushed higher from $1.2884 to $1.2909 and was last at $1.2905.
