What assets performed the best in August

Forex Short News

Deutche Bank is out with this chart highlighting how various assets performed in August, with all adjusted to USD. Notably, it was the US currency that was a drag, as the Dollar Index fell 2.2% in the month following Trump’s war on the Fed and economic data, along with the poor July jobs report on August 1.
