The US dollar had muted reaction to the announcement of a stop-gap agreement between President Donald Trump and the Congress to end the government shutdown without funding the wall with Mexico.
Trump said today:
I am very proud to announce today that we have reached a deal to end the shutdown and re-open the federal government.
The deal will result in government funding for three weeks till February 15. If by that time no longer-term deal is achieved, the shutdown will resume.
