Slower manufacturing growth and Fed rate cut indications in US ready to drag US dollar down

The manufacturing growth in US is slowing down rapidly. The factors contributing to slower growth is from stalling real estate construction, moderate defense spending compared to one-year earlier and higher gasoline price affecting consumer confidence.
