News and Analysis:

The US dollar weakened against major currencies on Friday, following a report that the US and China are close to reaching a trade deal. The dollar index, which measures the currency's value against a basket of six major currencies, fell 0.2% to 97.45.
The Federal Reserve is expected to keep interest rates unchanged at its meeting next week, but investors are looking for clues on the central bank's future policy moves. The Fed has been under pressure to cut rates to support the economy, but some policymakers have expressed concerns about inflation.
The US Treasury Department announced that it will auction off $24 billion in 10-year notes on Tuesday, which could impact the dollar's value. The auction is expected to be well-received, but any signs of weak demand could put downward pressure on the dollar.
The dollar has been under pressure in recent weeks due to concerns about the US-China trade war and the global economic slowdown. However, some analysts believe that the dollar could strengthen in the coming months if the trade deal is reached and the global economy shows signs of improvement.

Economic Data:

The US economy added 136,000 jobs in September, according to the Labor Department. The unemployment rate remained at 3.7%, and wages rose 0.4%.
The US trade deficit widened to $54.6 billion in August, according to the Commerce Department. The deficit has been a concern for policymakers, as it can impact the dollar's value and the overall economy.
The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) reported that its manufacturing index fell to 47.8 in September, indicating a contraction in the sector. The ISM services index, which measures the health of the services sector, fell to 52.6.

Market Sentiment:

The dollar is expected to remain under pressure in the coming days, according to a survey of currency analysts by Bloomberg. The survey found that 60% of analysts expect the dollar to weaken against the euro in the next three months.
The dollar's weakness has been a boon for gold prices, which have risen to their highest level in six years. Gold is often seen as a safe-haven asset during times of economic uncertainty, and its price is inversely correlated with the dollar's value.
The dollar's weakness has also been a concern for investors who hold dollar-denominated assets, such as stocks and bonds. A weaker dollar can make these assets more expensive for foreign investors, which can impact their value.
