On Thursday, the evergreen buck kept diving for a fifth day in a row because receding worries over trade clashes powered appetite for riskier currencies, although thin month-end markets reported losses.
Versus its key counterparts, the evergreen buck held at a one-month minimum of 94.52 due to the fact that some investors are assured that a trade pact between Canada and the United States would cut the pool of money, which has flocked to the evergreen buck in recent days on worries that any escalation in trade clash would be beneficial to the greenback.
On Wednesday, Canada and the United States expressed optimism that they could strike another NAFTA deal by a Friday, although the Canadian government told that a number of tricky issues were still there.
Notwithstanding volatile overnight markets in Asia, investor risk appetite in currencies is broadly recovering because trade war worries seem to be fading that should pressure the evergreen buck.

Meanwhile, the offshore Chinese Yuan slumped by 0.3% reaching 6.8430 per greenback, extending its dives into a third session.
