28 May 2021 Morning Session Analysis
Dollar slumped amid bearish GDP data.
The Dollar Index which traded against a basket of six major currency pairs received bearish momentum over the backdrop of downbeat economic data yesterday, which dialled down the market optimism toward the economic progress in the United States. According to Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for last quarter came in at 6.4%, missing the market forecast at 6.5%. As for now, market participants would focus on the U.S. inflation data due on Friday. A jump in prices could be prompting the Federal Reserve to reduce its expansionary monetary policy in order to combat the inflation risk in future. Nonetheless, the losses experienced by the US Dollar was limited amid bullish employment data in United States. According to Department of Labor, U.S. Initial Jobless Claims notched down from the preliminary reading of 444K to 406K, better than the market forecast at 425K. As of writing, the Dollar Index depreciated by 0.04% to 90.00.
In the commodities market, the crude oil price appreciated by 0.57% to $67.23 per barrel as of writing. The oil market edged higher amid investors speculated the near-term fuel demand would be expected to increase significantly from the oncoming U.S. Summer driving season. The American Automobile Association expects as many as 37 million road travellers for the occasion, up 60% from last year’s pandemic-suppressed number of 23 million. On the other hand, the gold price surged 0.04% to $1896.65 per troy ounces as of writing amid weakening US Dollar.
