Aussie seesawed after softer-than-expected retail sales was released.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Australian dollar, which widely known as Aussie, slipped after Australia posted a downbeat data at home. According to Australian Bureau of Statistic, Australia retail sales data dropped from 0.9% to 0.2%, missing the consensus forecast of 0.5%, citing the heightening risk of economic slowdown in Australia. Despite the downbeat data, the pair of AUD\/USD did not experience huge tumble as the dollar index continue to support the upward trend of the currency pair. Early today, the Fed Interest Rate Decision has been unleashed, where the FOMC members adjusted the rate upward from 1.75% to 2.50%, hitting the market analyst expectation. Prior to that, the market participants were in a midst of either a 75-basis point rate hike or a 100-basis point of that. As the rate hike amplitude was not as big as market expects, hence it triggered a huge sell-off pressure in dollar market, while prompting the investors to shift their capital toward other markets such as Pound, Aussie and etc. As of writing, the pair of AUD\/USD down 0.11% to 0.6985.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, the crude oil price up 0.46% to $98.70 a barrel as the appreciation of the US dollar caused the cost of oil became slightly cheap for the non-US buyers, while huge crude oil inventories drew further support the black commodity price. Besides, the gold prices jumped 0.06% to $1735.25 per troy ounce following a smaller-than-expected rate hike during the overnight FOMC meeting.<\/p>\n
