The gyrations of the US dollar took centre stage in the financial markets last week, especially when US Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin appeared to differ with President Donald Trump on the administration’s short and long-term objectives for the currency. In a highly unusual development, European Central Bank president Mario Draghi added to the turmoil by admonishing the US administration for breaching the spirit of recent international agreements on currency manipulation.
美元震荡成为上周金融市场的焦点,特别是当美国财长史蒂芬•姆努钦(Steven Mnuchin)似乎在短期和长期汇率目标上与美国总统唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)意见相左的时候。欧洲央行(ECB)行长马里奥•德拉吉(Mario Draghi)极为罕见地批评美国政府违背近期在汇率操纵问题上达成的国际共识中的精神,这加剧了美元的动荡。
