Indonesia has agreed to eliminate tariffs on more than 99% of U.S. goods and scrap all non-tariff barriers facing American firms, while the U.S. will drop threatened tariffs on Indonesian products to 19% from 32%, the two countries said on Tuesday.

Details of a framework for the accord were released in a joint statement by both countries, and a fact sheet issued by the White...

The dollar eases after reaching a one-month high in the previous session when the U.S. and China announced a deal to lower tariffs for 90 days.

USD/CHF retreats after posting more than 2% gains in the previous session, trading around 0.8430 during Asian hours on Tuesday (5/13). The decline came as the US Dollar (USD) weakened, possibly due to a technical correction.
