Dollar declines in anticipation of the promised by Trump incentives

Dollar drops slightly on Tuesday as investors took a wait on the eve of the US president's speech in Congress.
By 11.48 GMT the dollar index slowed down by 0.01 percent to 101.120 against a basket of major currencies after a modest growth in the previous day.
The US currency strengthened after Trump called for a "historic" increase in military spending, which improved appetite of dollar "bulls" before the speech of the American president in Congress.
Dollar Index reached a peak of 14 years shortly after Trump won in the November election against the backdrop of expectations that he will present an ambitious program of fiscal stimulus.
However, the US currency has recently gave up positions, as the administration of Trump has not explained the details of the plans, particularly those regarding tax reform, so the focus has shifted to the President's appearance before the Congress.
Dollar slowed down by 0.15 percent against the yen to 112.50 yen.
The euro gained 0.06 percent against the dollar to $1.0590, moving away from the week peak of $1.0631 reached the previous day.
