• The yuan is continuing to depreciate against the US dollar. The Chinese currency fell to lows of January 2018. According to analysts, the fall is caused by the strong greenback. However, an investment bank China International Capital Corporation said the currency is not facing significant depreciation pressure.

Tomorrow, traders will take into consideration manufacturing PMI and non-manufacturing PMI (04:00 MT time). Data are anticipated to remain at the same level.
