Dollar slumped as the tightening path of the Fed rugged.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The dollar index, which traded against a basket of six major currencies, plunged as the global investors reassessed the tightening path of the Fed while expecting the Fed will not increase the interest rate as aggressively as the majority thought. According to the Fed Rate Monitor Tool, the likelihood of a 50-basis point interest rate upward adjustment is roughly about 93%, while the possibility of 75-basis point rate hike is just about 7.0%. With that, it shows that the market participants are expecting a less aggressive rate hike would be carried out by the Federal Reserve in the upcoming meeting, which scheduled on 22 September. On data front, there was a upbeat manufacturing data which released yesterday had limited the losses of the dollar index. According to the ISM, the US ISM Manufacturing PMI came in at 52.8, stronger than the consensus forecast of 52.0. The data showed that the economic activity in the manufacturing sector has achieved a 26th<\/sup> consecutive month of growth since the last contraction in May 2020. Nonetheless, the eyes of the global investors are now on the crucial employment data, including Nonfarm Payroll and Unemployment Rate. As of writing, the dollar index dropped 0.47% to 105.40.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, the crude oil price was down 0.38% to $93.75 a barrel amid surprise contraction in Chinese factory activity, which fueled the market fears over the oil demand outlook. Besides, the gold prices appreciated by 0.04% to $1771.40 per troy ounce as the tensions between US and China heightened.<\/p>\n
