The U.S. dollar strengthened against its major counterparts in early European deals on Monday, along with treasury yields, as U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin remarked that China and US would put trade war "on hold" amid "meaningful progress" in talks last week.

Speaking to Fox News on Sunday, Mnuchin signaled a more cooperative path for trade deals with China as Beijing reportedly promised to increase purchases of American goods and services to reduce the trade deficit.

"We have agreed to put the tariffs on hold while we try to execute the framework," Mnuchin said.

Mnuchin added that both sides had agreed to halt imposing tariffs against each other.
