Dollar slips following mixed economic data.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The dollar index which gauges its value against a basket of six major currencies sank after investors digesting a series of mixed economic data that announced last night. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, US GDP for the fourth quarter in year 2020 came in at 4.0%, parallel with the economist forecast\u2019s reading but far below the previous reading, marking an obvious economic slowdown amidst the pandemic. With a big picture, year 2020 was a horrible year for American as the US annualised GDP decreased by 3.5% from the prior year, where it was the worst decline since year 1946. Besides, it is noteworthy that the US economic recovery is still in the pioneering stage, the nation is still far from its pre-pandemic economic glory and the economic growth was not showing any sign of booming at the moment. However, the losses of dollar was limited after US released a major labour data. In the past week, the number of American who filed for unemployment insurance increased with a diminishing pace from previous reading at 914K to 847K. The revives of job hiring was mainly contributed by the rollout of vaccine and optimism of employer over additional monetary support from Biden administration. As of writing, dollar index dropped 0.12% to 90.55.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, the crude oil price depreciated by 0.10% to $52.10 per barrel as of writing amid heightening of market concern over the fresh travel restriction and delays in vaccination programme may tampered the oil market demand. Besides, gold price ticked up by 0.07% to $1844.10 a troy ounce amid the depreciation of dollar index.<\/p>\n
