TOKYO/LONDON, April 10 (Reuters) - The dollar dipped against safe havens and more risk sensitive currencies alike on Thursday as traders tried to work out where they stood after Wednesday's dramatic tariff announcement from U.S. President Donald Trump, though China's yuan slid.
Trump on Wednesday stunned markets by awarding a 90-day reprieve on his "Liberation Day" reciprocal levies that had gone into effect less than 24 hours earlier, though he maintained a baseline tariff rate of 10% on most countries.
