The USD has fallen to a 3-year low and treasuries slumped after U.S. Secretary Steven Mnuchin endorsed a weaker greenback. Stocks rose as a strong earnings season continues to impress investors. Mnuchin's comments added pressure on a greenback that's been in the decline for a year, with effects rippling across markets as growth in European and emerging-nation economies continue to accelerate past America.
