According to Reuters, Ukraine appeared a speech that Europe should stop depending on Russia for trade after Moscow halted gas supplies to Bulgaria and Poland for not paying in roubles, as the shutoff exposed the continent&#8217;s weaknesses and divisions on Wednesday. Gazprom, Russia&#8217;s gas export monopoly, suspended gas supplies &#8220;due to absence of payments in roubles&#8221;, as stipulated in a decree from Russian President Vladimir Putin that aims to soften the impact of sanctions. As Europe was the largest dependent on the Russia commodities, the diminishing commodities such as natural gas would drag down the economic activities in Europe region, leading to the disruption of domestic productivity. It dialed down the market optimism toward economic progression in Europe, prompting investors to selloff Euro. Besides, the hawkish tone from Federal Reserve would likely reduce the US Dollar circulation in the market, sparkling the appeal for the US Dollar and spurring further bearish momentum on the Euro. As of writing, EURUSD depreciated by 0.19% to 1.0534.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In commodities market, crude oil price slumped by 1.52% to $100.50 per barrel as of writing amid Some of Europe\u2019s largest energy companies are making arrangements to comply with a new payment system for Russian gas sought by the Kremlin, which may lead to the surge of oil supply. On the other hand, gold price depreciated by 0.47% to $1880.00 per troy ounces as of writing over the rally of US Dollar.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Holiday Market Close<\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>Time\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Market\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Event <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>N\/A<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Highlight Events<\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>Time\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Market\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Event<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tentative\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 JPY\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BoJ Monetary Policy Statement<\/p>\n<p>Tentative\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 JPY\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BoJ Outlook Report (YoY)<\/p>\n<p>Tentative\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 JPY\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BoJ Press Conference<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Highlight Economic Data<\/u><\/p>\n<table width=\"105%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"11%\"><strong>Time<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"53%\"><strong>Nation &amp; Data<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\"><strong>Previous<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\"><strong>Forecast<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"10%\"><strong>Actual<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"11%\">20:30<\/td>\n<td width=\"53%\">USD &#8211; GDP (QoQ) (Q1)<\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\">6.90%<\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\">1.10%<\/td>\n<td width=\"10%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"11%\">20:30<\/td>\n<td width=\"53%\">USD &#8211; Initial Jobless Claims<\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\">184K<\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\">180K<\/td>\n<td width=\"10%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Technical Analysis<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-242558\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gcmasia.co\/analysis\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/280422-DOLLAR_INDX-NOON.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gcmasia.co\/analysis\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/280422-DOLLAR_INDX-NOON.jpg 700w, http:\/\/www.gcmasia.co\/analysis\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/280422-DOLLAR_INDX-NOON-480x343.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 700px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>DOLLAR_INDX, Daily: <\/strong>Dollar index was traded higher following prior breakout above the previous resistance level.
