Jan 20 (Reuters) - The dollar took a dive on Monday after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump was quoted as saying he will not impose trade tariffs straight after his inauguration, which is set to take place later in the session.
Trump will issue a broad trade memo on Monday that stops short of imposing new tariffs on his first day in office, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday. An official for the incoming administration confirmed the report.
