Comment: The American currency weakens on the echoes of US Federal Reserve policymakers´ comments, which reaffirmed that inflation spikes would likely be temporary, adding that they will maintain the ultra-loose monetary policy in place until noting clear substantial progress toward the central bank’s goals. US Treasury yields keep retreating, adding pressure on the pair.
