A friendly U.S. Manufacturing report is helping to weaken the Dollar at the mid-session by driving up demand for higher yielding assets.

The Dollar opened the first trading session slightly better but a strong surge in U.K. and China manufacturing data helped to pressure the Dollar overnight. These two better than expected reports triggered renewed interest in demand for higher risk assets.
