The dollar rose broadly on Monday as trades for a victory by Donald Trump in the upcoming elections gathered steam in the wake of an attempted assassination of the former president.


The Australian dollar edged lower after data showed the world's second-largest economy grew much slower than expected in Q2. China's once-in-five-year gathering of top officials kicked off today.
