# Dollar Languishes Near July Lows as Investor Risk Appetite Boosts Rivals

> The dollar fell to near its July lows on December 30, 2019, with the dollar index down about 0.23% at 96.72. Investors favored riskier currencies on US-China trade optimism and Fed balance sheet expansion, and the US trade deficit narrowed more than expected in November.

## Why it matters
