US trade chief says fast-track would move trade deals forward

US Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said although he had not seen details of a new bill, which could be announced later on Thursday, provisions in previous drafts to make rules against currency manipulation a negotiating objective would send a "powerful" signal to trading partners.
