Aussie rose on upbeat data, risk-on mood.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

During late Asian session, the Australian dollar which traded against the greenback and other currency pairs have jumped as the pair benefited from positive data and risk-on mood in the market. On data front, Australia\u2019s ANZ Roy Morgan Weekly Consumer Confidence eases to 108.7 from 108.9. Even so, the confidence was higher than last year with the sentiment in January 2020 was impacted by the bushfires. Besides that, HIA New Home Sales also reached remarkable heights with the reading of 32.5%, almost double compared to previous reading in November. It was also the second strongest month in 20 years of survey. On top of that, the momentum was further lifted by positive development on coronavirus cases. According to ABC News, there was zero new coronavirus (COVID-19) cases from the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and Victoria. At the time of writing, AUD\/USD rose 0.37% to 0.7707.<\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil price remains mixed in overall and edge higher 0.42% to $52.31 per barrel as of writing with investors weighing optimism of further stimulus measure against increasing fears for fuel demand and COVID-19. Positive economic data from China, the top crude oil importer globally, helped boost sentiment and showed that refinery output rose 3% to a new record in 2020. However, the positivity was offset by the growing number of COVID-19 cases globally and the restrictive measures that affect fuel demand. Market currently waits for more catalyst to determine further direction for the commodity. On the other hand, gold price rose 0.03% to $1837.98 a troy ounce following dollar weakness.<\/p>\n
