Emerging Market Currency Roil Deepens While Dollar Extends Gains
Emerging market currencies are getting crushed even as the rally in U.S. dollar continues to firm up.

The U.S. dollar, on the other hand, rose for the fourth day, in a rising interest rate environment and following U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to impose tariffs on an additional $200 billion on imported Chinese goods by Thursday.
