Dollar recovers on monetary easing hopes.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

During late Asian session, the dollar index which traded against a basket of six major currency pairs have recover some of its losses and rebound following expectation of more monetary easing measures from Fed provided a boost for the greenback. Recent encouraging data from COVID-19 vaccine developers have driven investors towards riskier currencies and higher-yielding assets outside the U.S which have led to a shortage of dollars. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell will testify before Congress later in the day and on Wednesday, ahead of the central bank\u2019s policy meeting on Dec. 15 and 16. Investors remain hopeful with expectations that Fed will step in to boost the economy. Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan recently stated that the central bank is open-minded about shifting or expanding its bond buying program but have yet determine the time for the plan. At the time of writing, dollar index rose 0.03% to 91.78.<\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil price slips 0.04% to $44.99 per barrel at the time of writing amid OPEC talks delayed which raised supply concerns. According to sources from Reuters, OPEC+ delayed their talks on output policy for next year until Thursday as key players were still in disagreement on how much oil they should pump amid weak demand. On the other hand, gold price remains weak and edge lower 0.11% to $1781.98 a troy ounce at the time of writing as risk sentiment remain high on vaccine news.<\/p>\n
