Sterling stumbles, greenback tumbles.

US dollar dwindles near recent six-months low while pound sterling slipped as latest opinion poll showed trimmed support for Prime Minister Theresa May’s ruling party before next week’s national election. The greenback slipped to sessions low on yesterday following softer US pending home sales data which illustrates lagging outlook for housing market. Such reading has spook off some dollar-bulls which are looking forward for next interest rate hike which could be initiated as soon as next FOMC meeting on June 13th. The dollar index was last seen at around 96.90, not far from six-months low of 96.65. Likewise, pound sterling remained under pressure from yesterday’s YouGov which reported that May’s Conservative Party is leading with only 3 percentage point difference as compared to the opposition Labor Party. Such reading gave pessimistic undertone to the market whereby she might fall short of a majority support during next week’s election. Pairing of GBP/USD eased 0.08% to $1.2880.

 

Peering into the commodities, crude oil price rose 0.97% to $48.79 after the US industry report showed a larger draw in crude stockpiles. According to American Petroleum Institute, crude inventories for week ended May 26th was down 8.7 million barrels, larger than prior expected decrease of only 2.5 million barrels. Otherwise, gold price was down 0.36% to $1,267.44 as greenback mends its prior session losses during Asian trading hours.
