US dollar continue to rise over hawkish Fed.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

US dollar extended its gains on yesterday over the backdrop of hawkish signals delivered by US Federal Reserve. Majority of Fed officials anticipated at least 2 rate hikes in the year of 2023, significantly earlier than prior forecast of year 2024. In addition, a small number of Fed officials believes that a rate hike is possible in the year 2022 if US economy recovers substantially and achieve their designated target in mid-term. Both signals suggest that Federal Reserve have discussed the possibility of tapering their monthly bond purchasing program and laying the way for a higher interest rate in the future in current market and economic condition continues to improve. However, gains on the US dollar were limited following the release of bearish economic data from yesterday. Last week, Initial Jobless Claims increased for the first time in 2 months to 412K, significantly higher than forecast of 359K. On the other hand, Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index ticked down to 30.7 for the month of June, slightly lower than forecast of 31.0. As of writing, the dollar index fell 0.01% to 91.85 during Asian trading session.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the commodities market, crude oil price rose 0.02% to $70.65 per barrel following bullish sentiment towards further recovery in the global oil demand as coronavirus cases subsides substantially. On the other hand, gold price ticked up 0.03% to $1,777.90 a troy ounce as US dollar undergoes technical correction.<\/p>\n
