The USD index fell from 94.50 to 93.50. The currency suffers from bad political headlines. Wall Street Journal reported that the court demanded documents from President Donald Trump’s election campaign. This came as a part of investigations into possible Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election.
Moreover, the market remains focused on the US tax reform. There’s no clarity whether the legislation can go through this year. Although US House of Representatives has approved a broad package of tax cuts this week, the main obstacles for the bill will be in the Senate.

In addition, 200-week MA is located at 93.30. It won’t be very easy for bears to quickly pull the USD below this level.
