US Dollar slumped amid economic recession concern.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Dollar Index which traded against a basket of six major currencies extended its losses since yesterday over the backdrop of economic recession concern from the market. Despite the rate hike implementation that would likely combat inflation risk, the borrowing cost in the US region might increase significantly if Fed implies aggressive tightening monetary policy. The consumer spending would reduce as borrowing cost increased, which brought negative prospects toward economic progression in the US. Besides, the downbeat economic data had spurred further bearish momentum on the US Dollar. According to Census Bureau, US New Home Sales notched down from the previous reading of 709K to 591K, missing the market forecast of 750K. The lower than expected data indicated that the recession in the US housing market, dragged down the appeal of the US Dollar. As of writing, the Dollar Index edged up by 0.11% to 101.98.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil price appreciated by 1.10% to $110.97 per barrel as of writing, boosted by tight supplies and the prospect of rising demand from the upcoming start of the US summer driving season. On the other hand, gold price depreciated by 0.36% to $1858.69 per troy ounces as of writing.<\/p>\n
