Evergreen buck rallies vs. its rivals
On Monday, the US currency managed to surge versus its key opponents after a dive in the British pound in the face of soaring uncertainty as for the future of British Prime Minister Theresa May because Brexit negotiations were still suspended.

The currency pair GBP/USD went down by 0.80% being worth $1.2974.
The common currency also backed the evergreen buck’s optimistic start to the week because the single currency gave up early-session profits on worries over a further rift between Italy and the European bloc over Italy’s spending plans.

The currency pair USD/CAD managed to ascend by 0.02% being worth C$1.3109 because diving crude prices put pressure on the Canadian dollar. However, profits were limited in the face of hopes for a Bank of Canada rate lift a bit later this week.
Meanwhile, the Japanese yen struggled to pare losses notwithstanding a report from Axios telling that the US.China trade feud was set to escalate as US leader wants the Chinese government suffer more.
The currency pair USD/JPY added by 0.18% demonstrating to Y122.75.
