Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said a weaker dollar could be good for trade, echoing previous comments by President  Trump that a strong dollar could hurt growth. A weaker dollar has put bonds under pressure as foreign investors of U.S. government paper, may stay on the sidelines to avoid the hit of currency depreciation.
