    The U.S. put economies including China, Japan and Germany on a new currency watch list, saying their foreign-exchange practices bear close monitoring to gauge whether they provide an unfair trade advantage over America.

    The inaugural list also includes South Korea and Taiwan, the Treasury Department said Friday in a revamped version of its semi-annual report on the foreign-exchange policies of major U.S. trading partners. The five economies met two of the three criteria used to judge unfair practices under a February law that seeks to enforce U.S. trade interests. Meeting all three would trigger action by the president to enter discussions with the country and seek potential penalties.


    The new scrutiny of some of the world’s biggest economies comes amid a bruising presidential campaign in which candidates from both the Democratic and Republican parties have questioned the merits of free trade. Republican front-runner Donald Trump has promised to declare China a currency manipulator, and the latest report may fail to appease critics in Congress who say China’s practices have cost American manufacturing jobs.

    “We will continue to watch this process closely to ensure that the president squarely addresses currency manipulation and stands up for the American people,” House Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady, a Texas Republican, said in a statement on the Treasury report.

    I will say only, Everything depends on who will be next US president ? and he can take bold decisions or not ? Economic slowdown in world's biggest economies will affect Global markets also. Pivot or Middle-path is most important at current stage. still it's not achieved as expected.

    Gold trading always seems exciting and interesting to me. A beginner should step into trading with stepping into demo account first. Here he has to develop his analytical knowledge because it will lead him ahead. FXOpulence provides more than 28 trading pairs with crypto trading facilities.
