Recently, U.S. President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have blamed the pandemic on China, where they believed that is the place where the coronavirus outbreak is originated. Following latest development, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also claims that there was &#8220;a significant amount of evidence&#8221; that the virus emerged from a laboratory in the central Chinese city of Wuhan. Despite Mike Pompeo did not provide any evidence, the comments have dragged down risk sentiment in the market. As tensions began to flare, market have been dominated by risk-averse trading where safe-haven market such as greenback and yen attract bid from investors. In the time of writing, dollar index rose 0.04% to 99.45.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the commodities market, crude oil price surge 0.80% to $21.83 per barrel as of writing amid improving demand prospect. As some U.S. states and nations in Europe and Asia start to ease coronavirus lockdown measures, the outlook for fuel demand have rose, thus boosting the sentiment for the commodity for the moment. In the other hand, gold price remains stable and rose 0.05% to $1700.72 a troy ounce at the time of writing following ongoing fears of trade war and coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Holiday Market Close<\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>Time\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Market\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Event<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All Day \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 JPY\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Special Holiday<\/p>\n<p>All Day\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 CNY\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Labor Day<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Highlight Events<\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>Time\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Market\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Event<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tentative\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 EUR\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 EU Economic Forecasts<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Highlight Economic Data<\/u><\/p>\n<table width=\"105%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"11%\"><strong>Time<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"53%\"><strong>Nation &amp; Data<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\"><strong>Previous<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\"><strong>Forecast<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"10%\"><strong>Actual<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"11%\">16:30<\/td>\n<td width=\"53%\">GBP \u2013 Composite PMI (Apr)<\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\">36.0<\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\">12.9<\/td>\n<td width=\"10%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"11%\">16:30<\/td>\n<td width=\"53%\">GBP &#8211; Construction PMI (Apr)<\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\">39.3<\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\">44.0<\/td>\n<td width=\"10%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"11%\">16:30<\/td>\n<td width=\"53%\">GBP \u2013 Services PMI (Apr)<\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\">12.3<\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\">12.2<\/td>\n<td width=\"10%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"11%\">22:00<\/td>\n<td width=\"53%\">USD \u2013 ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI (Apr)<\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\">52.5<\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\">44.0<\/td>\n<td width=\"10%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"11%\">04:30<\/p>\n<p>(6<sup>th<\/sup>)<\/td>\n<td width=\"53%\">CrudeOIL \u2013 API Weekly Crude Oil Stock<\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\">10.000M<\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<td width=\"10%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>T<\/u><\/strong><strong><u>echnical Analysis<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-117273\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gcmasia.co\/analysis\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/050520-DOLLAR_INDX-Noon.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>DOLLAR_INDX, H1: <\/strong>Dollar index was traded within a range while currently testing the resistance level at 99.55.
