TOKYO - Safe-haven currencies such as the yen and Swiss franc were under pressure on Monday as expectations policymakers would unleash new stimulus eased immediate concerns about a slowing global economy.
However, investor optimism is likely to be capped ahead of a U.S. decision due later on Monday on whether to continue to allow China’s Huawei Technologies to buy supplies from American companies. The dollar index .DXY, which measures the greenback against six major currencies, was marginally higher in Asia at 98.192, close to a two-week high of 98.339 reached on Friday., the dollar was little changed at 106.44 yen, near a one-week high of 106.98 yen.
In May, the U.S. government blacklisted Huawei, accusing the world’s largest telecom equipment maker of espionage and intellectual property theft. The allegations, which Huawei disputes, were a serious escalation in the U.S.-China trade war. While a rejection for Huawei could easily fuel another bout of risk aversion, risk-sensitive currencies appeared to have found some support for now.
