US senate postpones currency vote

The US senate has postponed its vote on the much-debated currency bill until next week amid differences between the Republicans and Democrats.



The bill would make it easier to impose penalties on goods from countries seen as keeping their currencies artificially low.



Politicians and some business groups have accused China of using its policy of limiting the yuan's value to boost exports.



However, the House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner has called the bill pretty dangerous.
