Lack of hawkishness in Fed minutes.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Investors began to reassess their sentiment towards the US dollar following a more dovish meeting minutes from the Federal Reserve. Within the minutes, Fed officials reemphasized that US inflation which lingers at its highest since 1982 may pose a threat towards the economy and jobs market. They also emphasized that keeping monetary policy loose at a longer period of time may jeopardize overall economic momentum. Thus, Fed suggested that they will initiate an interest rate hike which is currently speculated to be done on March meeting. However, Fed reiterates that the decision to initiate a rate hike depends on their analysis of current economic situation which will be done on a meeting basis. The signal suggests that Federal Reserve will still require justification from future economic data, contradicts with market speculation that they will tighten the monetary policy at a faster pace. As of writing, the dollar index is down by 0.01% to 95.75.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For commodities, crude oil price was down by 0.38% to $89.33 per barrel following possibility of US and Iran in reaching a denuclearization deal. On the other hand, gold price was up 0.01% to $1,869.40 a troy ounce due to weaker US dollar.<\/p>\n
