Aussie rose following upbeat Capex data.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Australian dollar which traded against US dollar and other currency pairs have rose following the positive release of Aussie data. According to Australian Bureau of Statistics, Australia\u2019s Private Capital Expenditure (Capex) which measure business investment have rose to two years high of 4.4%, surpassed market expectation of 2.5%. The data confirmed the economy had a good head of steam in the second quarter before the lockdowns likely threw it into reverse. The positive data also prompt investors to expect that the gross domestic product report due next week will show reasonable growth for the quarter, and a huge improvement from last year when lockdowns tipped the economy into recession. At the time of writing, AUD\/USD rose 0.05% to 0.7261.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil price retreat 0.12% to $67.94 per barrel as of writing amid renewed concerns over virus. While recent inventory data from EIA have help support the commodity, fresh outbreaks fueled by the Delta variant are raising concerns about the strength of the economic recovery globally as Covid-19 restrictions are hitting demand for oil and other commodities. On the other hand, gold price fell 0.14% to $1788.41 a troy ounce at the time of writing following dollar rebound.<\/p>\n
