Dollar soars amid U.S election uncertainty, COVID-19<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

During late Asian session, the U.S dollar which traded against a basket of six major currency pairs have skyrocketed as safe-haven demand boosted by worsening COVID-19 and uncertainty towards upcoming U.S election. As of now, former Vice President, Joe Biden continue to lead in the polls over President Donald Trump which led traders to cautiously bet on his victory and a \u201cblue wave\u201d outcome where Democrats controlled both chambers of Congress. Despite that, Donald Trump is also seen catching up in some part of swing states which could slowly even the playing field and become a close battle. With U.S election just day away, the uncertainty remains in the market until the results is out, thus support the demand for safe-haven. At the same time, worsening COVID-19 conditions also help boosting the demand as massive second wave coronavirus continue to threaten Europe. At the time of writing, dollar index rose 0.03% to 93.38.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil price rose extend losses and plunged 0.19% to $37.44 per barrel at the time of writing as rising supply and weak demand overwhelmed market sentiment. On supply front, U.S crude oil stockpiles rose more than expected with the reading of 4.32 million increase compared to the expectation of 1.23 million. At the same time, surging cases in U.S and EU which prompted EU to re-impose lockdowns recently also continue to add into weak demand expectation, which further pressuring the commodity. On the other hand, gold price fell 0.09% to $1877.90 a troy ounce at the time of writing following dollar strength and ongoing liquidation of assets in order to prevent margin call.<\/p>\n
