Dollar taken aback by cautious Feds.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

US dollar remained defensive on Thursday following less hawkish Federal Reserve meeting minutes that has spook off dollar-bulls. In the discussion concerning future rate hike, most Feds suggested a further increase in short-term rates sooner should the economy remain on track with their expectations. However, such hawkish view was dialed down by comments from some members whom highlighted to held off raising interest rates too soon until further evidence suggests that the recent economic slowdown is only temporary. Likewise, the dollar index was down 0.25% to 96.88 against its major peers this morning. As for other region, euro regained some upward momentum while hovering near six-months high as market attention place the limelight on European Central Bank (ECB). The single common currency was up 0.05% to $1.1225 against the greenback during Asian trading hours. Euro enjoyed a bull run since early of the month following diminished French political risks and recent upbeat economic performance in Eurozone which has increased overall speculation for ECB to dial back their Quantitative Easing program.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, crude oil price was up 0.82% to $51.78 per barrel following deeper than expected draw on US crude inventories. According to Energy Information Administration, crude oil inventories for the week ended May 19th<\/sup> fell by 4.43 million barrels, as compared to expectation of only 2.4 million. Likewise, gold price rebounds by 0.42% to $1,257.71 as Fed meeting minutes gave dovish signals.<\/p>\n
