Market quiets down as New Year\u2019s approaches.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

US dollar struggles within a tight trading range as market participants prepares for New Year\u2019s holiday. On yesterday, greenback rebounds from its prior low levels after US releases positive data with regards to employment market. Last week, Initial Jobless Claims fared better at 198K, slightly lower than forecasted reading of 208K. Despite Omicron cases rose sharply in the United States, employment market remains robust and extended its recovery post-pandemic. Likewise, the ongoing downtrend displayed by jobless claims suggests higher consumer expenditure for the coming months as more individuals returns to the workforce. For the time being, investors will place their attention upon upcoming data from the US in order to gauge its trend direction. As of writing, dollar index was traded flat at 95.92.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil price was traded flat at around $76.50 per barrel. Investors are currently waiting for OPEC\u2019s meeting early next week in order to gauge its trend direction. On the other hand, gold price ticks up 0.01% to $1816.82 a troy ounce after US Treasury yield retraces from its previous high levels.<\/p>\n
