The U.S. dollar traded lower against its most major counterparts in the European session on Monday, as optimism over the U.S-China trade deal receded after China sought further talks before sealing the partial trade deal claimed by President Donald Trump.

Bloomberg reported that China wanted more talks by the end of October to finalize the "phase one" trade deal which had been agreed on Friday.

Chinese Vice Premier Liu He, China's top negotiator, may head the delegation to discuss the details of the "phase one" trade deal that could be signed at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit next month in Chile.

China has asked to abandon a planned tariff hike in December in addition to the hike scheduled for this week, it added.

Weak China trade data added to concerns about global growth.

China's import and export figures for September both came in worse than expected, official data showed.
