- The US will impose tariffs on additional $267 billion of Chinese goods if China retaliates, according to Trump's words. It seems like countries are not ready for a trade deal as several meetings of China and the US have already been canceled. In addition, White House CEA Chair Mr. Hassett compared tariffs with taxes. He also said the budget deficit of the US is higher than anyone would expect.
In other news for the USD, Trump said he did not like the Fed policy concerning rates. In his opinion, the interest rate hikes are not necessary as the country does not have problems with inflation. However, he did not talk to Fed Chair Powell on this topic.
As a result of this news, the USD index dropped yesterday to the support at 95.23. Up to now, the currency is stabilizing. The level of PPI which will be released today at 15:30 MT time can affect the currency too. It's expected to increase by 0.2%. If the actual data overcomes the forecast, the USD will be supported. In that case, the resistance is at 95.85. If the released figures are lower, the USD will fall back to the support at 95.23.

On H1, the pair declined immediately after the release. However, the Brexit deal has a stronger impact on the pair. As a result, the pair managed to recover. If there is more news or statements, concerning the Brexit decision on the Irish border, the GBP will be supported. In that situation, the resistance is at 1.3182.
