Dollar reversing loses while eyes on U.S stimulus.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

During late Asian session, the dollar which measured its value against a basket of six major currency pair have slowly recoup its losses and rebound as the market continue to focus on the U.S congress development on passing the latest stimulus. Recently, the dollar sank to its lowest level since September 2 after U.S President Donald Trump and House of Representative Speaker Nancy Pelosi have made positive remarks that increasing the hopes of U.S stimulus before Nov 3. However, that optimism is now slowly fading due to opposition from Senate Republicans which reduces the chances of the stimulus being passed before election. Pelosi also stated that while she remains optimistic, she also admitted that the stimulus is highly unlikely to be passed before the U.S heading for polls. Following the latest development, the greenback manages to limit its losses. Meanwhile, market will continue to focus on further development and upcoming presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. At the time of writing, dollar index rose 0.19% to 92.73.<\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil price extends losses and plunged 0.50% to $39.75 per barrel at the time of writing following weak demand outlook. With COVID-19 infections in the U.S and Europe continue to hit daily record, lockdowns and travel clampdown from China once again could diminished the fuel demand, which weigh on the oil price. On top of that, scepticism on stimulus package also added further to the worsening outlook as President Donald Trump accused Democrats of holding up a compromise deal. On the other hand, gold price slips 0.55% to $1913.95 a troy ounce at the time of writing amid rebound in dollar.<\/p>\n
