On treasury yields, overnight gains in the U.S treasury yield have lift the demand for dollar as the 10-year yields traded between a range 1.68% and 1.64%. On the other hand, prospects of faster US economic growth fueled by a massive government stimulus package and rapid rollout of vaccination also help fuel demand for the greenback. Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren said that the US economy could see a significant rebound this year owing to accommodative monetary and fiscal policy, but the job market still faces weakness. Despite that, market remains cautious and awaits for further catalyst to gauge near-term sentiment. At the time of writing, dollar index edge higher 0.08% to 92.21.<\/p>\n<p>In the commodities market, crude oil price rose 0.69% to $60.05 per barrel as of writing following increasing tension in the Middle East. According to reports from Reuters, Houthi militants have announced that they have launched 17 drones and 2 missiles towards the hub of Saudi Aramco oil refineries in Jubail and Jeddah. The tension could could affect the oil production in the region and reduce oil supply, thus providing a boost for the commodity price. On the other hand, gold price slips 0.05% to $1733.89 a troy ounce at the time of writing following dollar strength.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Holiday Market Close<\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>Time\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Market\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Event <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>N\/A<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Highlight Events<\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>Time\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Market\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Event<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>N\/A<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Highlight Economic Data<\/u><\/p>\n<table width=\"105%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"11%\"><strong>Time<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"53%\"><strong>Nation &amp; Data<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"12%\"><strong>Previous<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"12%\"><strong>Forecast<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"10%\"><strong>Actual<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"11%\">14:00<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"53%\">GBP &#8211; GDP (MoM)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"12%\">-2.9%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"12%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"10%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"11%\">16:30<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"53%\">GBP &#8211; Manufacturing Production (MoM) (Feb)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"12%\">-2.3%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"12%\">0.5%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"10%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"11%\">17:00<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"53%\">EUR &#8211; German ZEW Economic Sentiment (Apr)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"12%\">76.6<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"12%\">79.5<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"10%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"11%\">20:30<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"53%\">USD &#8211; Core CPI (MoM) (Mar)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"12%\">0.1%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"12%\">0.2%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"10%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Technical Analysis<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-167567\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gcmasia.co\/analysis\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/130421-DOLLAR_INDX-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>DOLLAR_INDX, H4: <\/strong>Dollar index was traded higher following prior rebound from the support level at 91.95.
