Dollar surged amid upbeat economic data.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Dollar Index which traded against a basket of six major currency pairs surged on yesterday over the backdrop of the upbeat economic data from the United Stated region. According to Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. JOLTs Job Openings had notched up from the previous reading of 6.494M to 6.652M, confounding of the market expectation for a reading up to 6.3000M. Such better-than-expected data had dialled up the market optimism toward the economic progression in the United States, which spurring significant demand for the US Dollar. Nonetheless, the gains experienced by the US Dollar was limited amid lack of progress of the U.S. economic stimulus. The stimulus talk between the U.S. government remains elusive while the Covid-19 pandemic spreads and related lockdowns are expected to anchor an economic recovery. According to Reuters. the U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell stated that lawmakers are still looking for a path toward an agreement on the stimulus plan. As for now investors would continue to scrutinize the latest updates with regards of the Covid-19 vaccine development from Pfizer and BioNTech as well as economic stimulus plan from U.S. government in order to receive further trading signal. As of writing, the Dollar Index appreciated by 0.15% to 90.07.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, the crude oil price depreciated by 0.02% to $45.63 per barrel as of writing following the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that the U.S. Crude Oil Inventories had increased significantly from the preliminary reading of -0.679M to 15.189M, exceeding the market forecast at -1.424M. On the other hand, the gold price slumped 0.20% to $1835.55 per troy ounces as of writing amid strengthening US Dollar.<\/p>\n
