US dollar wobbled as debt ceiling talk had no progress.

The dollar index, which was traded against a basket of six major currencies, failed to extend its rally further amid head-butting between two major political parties on raising the debt ceiling despite default risk loomed. According to Reuters, President Joe Biden and Congressional lawmakers had a meeting early morning today, which aimed to solve the deadlock over raising the $31.4 trillion debt limit to avoid the US government from defaulting any of its existing debt. However, there were no progress in the talk between two parties, as none of them showed softening position. The House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy mentioned that there no any new movement, while complaining that “Biden didn’t agree to talks until time was running out”. The impasses of raising the debt ceiling are putting the US economy on the brink of collapse, whereby the risk of defaulting debt is heightening as time passes. As such, the dollar index received quite a fair bit of bearish momentum, pressing the value of the currency near the recent low level. Nonetheless, it is noteworthy to highlight that the two parties agreed to meet again on Friday for further talks. As of writing, the dollar index rose 0.27% to 101.65.

 

In the commodities market, crude oil prices edged up by 1.18% to $73.55 per barrel as the EIA Short Term Energy Outlook report showed a higher seasonal demand and lower-than-expected output going forward. Besides, gold prices ticked up by 0.94% to $2036.40 per troy ounce as the US government failed to raise its debt ceiling following a no-progress talk.
