US Dollar surged as rate hike expectation.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Dollar Index which traded against a basket of six major currencies hovered at recent peak as more hawkish statement form Federal Reserve officials continue to enforce the rate hike expectation. According to Reuters, New York Fed President John Williams claimed on Thursday that a 50-basis point of rate hike in next month was a reasonable option, signaling a faster tightening monetary policy in future. Contractionary monetary policy would likely to diminish the money circulation in the currencies market, spurring bullish momentum on the US Dollar. Currently, investors will be closely monitoring remarks on Thursday by Federal Reserve. The Fed Chair Jerome Powell would speak at the spring meeting of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Thursday to discuss about the monetary policy decision. As of writing, the Dollar Index appreciated by 0.16% to 100.50.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, the crude oil price appreciated by 1.33% to $107.43 per barrel as of writing. The oil price traded higher following Shanghai reported a record number of symptomatic Covid-19 cases on Saturday and other areas across China had tightened controls in order to combat the highly transmissible Omicron variant. On the other hand, the gold price appreciated by 0.32% to $1979.78 per troy ounces as of writing amid rising tensions between Russian-Ukraine continue to insinuate risk-off sentiment in the global financial market.<\/p>\n
