On May 8, President Donald Trump announced a trade deal between the US and the UK. However, the US will still maintain a 10% tariff on most goods imported from the UK.

The deal is the first of dozens of trade deals the Trump administration is expected to announce in the coming weeks. Britain is the first country to reach an agreement with Washington since President Donald Trump announced reciprocal tariffs on April 2 aimed at reshaping global trade and reducing the US goods trade deficit.

Previously, on April 2, Mr. Trump announced a basic reciprocal tax of 10% on most trading partners and from 11-50% on 57% of other partners, including the European Union (EU). He then postponed imposing high reciprocal taxes to make time for negotiations. At the same time, his administration imposed a 25% tariff on imported cars and ended all tariff exemptions on imported aluminum and steel.

“The market is optimistic about progress in the US-China trade talks in particular and more trade deals in general,” said Matthew Weller, director of market research at StoneX.

The US dollar was on track for a fourth straight weekly gain against the Swiss franc, but fell 0.01% to 0.83150 francs in the last session.

Meanwhile, the euro posted its third consecutive weekly decline against the greenback. However, the euro rose 0.17% to $1.125025 in the last trading session.

The US currency is also on track to gain for a third straight week against the Japanese yen, although it fell 0.39% to 145.355 yen in the last session.

The pound is trading higher and building on its weekly gains after losing ground on May 8 following the announcement of a U.S.-UK trade deal. The currency rose 0.50% to $1.3306.

Central bank decisions this week were mixed, with the US Federal Reserve leaving interest rates unchanged, while the Bank of England cut rates. The central banks of Sweden and Norway decided to keep rates unchanged.

In contrast to other G10 currencies, the US dollar fell against some Asian currencies this week. The greenback weakened 0.02% to 7.241 against the Chinese yuan.
