Overnight, the U.S. Commerce Department reported that GDP for the fourth quarter grew at a faster pace with 2.9% versus 2.5% seen on a year-over-year basis. In addition, consumer spending was last seen with an increase of 0.2% to 4.0%, achieving its largest gains in three years. These upbeat data have lifted investors\u2019 sentiment for the Federal Reserve to adopt a slightly more aggressive pace of interest rates hikes in the future. At the meantime, bullish momentum of the Greenback was seen to be short-lived following U.S. President Donald Trump who discussed China\u2019s trade practices with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Both parties are considered to \u201cjoin forces to counter\u201d China\u2019s economic practices and alleged intellectual property theft. On the contrary, USD\/JPY rose by 0.785 to 106.70 after Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda stated that the central bank should maintain its current framework for monetary easing in order to attain its inflation target.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In the commodities market, crude oil price rebounded from its session lows by 0.37% to $64.60 per barrel following investors\u2019 optimism towards OPEC and its allies to curb excess stockpiles. Overnight, the commodity price suffered short-term losses after EIA reported U.S. crude inventories that increased by 1.643 million barrels last week versus the expected reading for a decline of 287,000 barrels. Likewise, gold price plummeted by 1.48% to $1326.95 a troy ounce as the safe-haven asset price was being continuously pressured by recent gains in dollar.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Holiday Market
