On Monday, the evergreen buck gave up some ground in Asia in the morning because traders piled into stocks, crude as well as risky Asian currencies reacting to a softening US-China trade clash over the weekend.

Gauging the purchasing potential of the evergreen buck against a number of its rivals the USD index declined by 0.3% trading at 96.97.
In general, Asian currencies managed to inch up versus the evergreen buck, particularly those more heavily impacted by commodities.
