Trump's Tweet Set Off a Huge Market Storm, the Dollar Rose Sharply.
The U.S. dollar strengthened on Tuesday (October 6), after U.S. President Trump stated that he had cancelled negotiations with the Democratic Party on the new coronavirus rescue plan, which put the economic recovery into question and prompted investors to turn to the U.S. dollar to avoid Risk assets.
Trump said a day after he was discharged from the hospital that he instructed his representatives to stop negotiations on a new fiscal stimulus bill before the end of the US general election on November 3.
The Speaker of the U.S. Senate Pelosi said that President Trump is unwilling to fight the COVID-19 and the White House is "obviously" in a state of disorder.
