Overnight, the personal consumption expenditure (PCE) price index rose coherently with economists\u2019 forecast for an increase of 1.6%, suggesting that inflation continues to trail towards 2% inflation target set by the Federal Reserve. In addition, initial jobless claims reduced by 12,000 to a seasonally adjusted 215,000 last week, much better than the expected reading to achieve a drop to 230,000. Greenback was also able to hold on its bullish bias after consumer spending met the forecast reading for a rise of 0.2% last month. On the contrary, USD\/CAD was down 0.21% to $1.2890 despite Canadian GDP data that shown a surprise actual reading at -0.1% versus the expected reading of 0.1% following recovery of oil prices from its three-day slump.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In the commodities market, crude oil price rose by 0.87% to $64.89 per barrel after US rig count snaps its 2-week gains by six to 798, sparkling market sentiment towards possible tightening in domestic output.
