Comment: The dollar was up on Tuesday morning in Asia. Disappointing economic data from China, the continuous spread of COVID-19’s Delta variant, and political tension in Afghanistan all served to curb the market’s risk appetite, giving the safe-haven U.S. currency a boost. Investors are still digesting Monday’s data from China that said industrial production and retail sales fell more than expected in July as the world’s second-largest economy continues to deal with its latest COVID-19 outbreak.
