Dollar devaluation agreed by Group of Ten chiefs

The US will lift the 10 percent import surcharge likely next week as major currencies realign. The dollar’s price of gold would rise to 38 dollars an ounce to back the plan, with rates to be announced by individual governments and take interim effect while Congress acts.
