US Dollar extends its gain as accelerating risk-off sentiment in the global market.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Dollar Index which traded against a basket of six major currencies extend its gains on yesterday while Chinese-proxy currencies such as Australia Dollar and New Zealand Dollar retreated over the backdrop of a string of downbeat economic data from China. According to National Bureau of Statistics, China Industrial Production notched down from the preliminary reading of 3.9% to 3.8%, missing the market forecast at 4.6%, which indicating the recovery momentum for the Chinese economy still remained stagnant. Such downbeat economic data had sparked further risk-off sentiment in the global financial market, increasing the appeal for the safe-haven US Dollar. On the monetary policy front, the People\u2019s Bank of China had reduced its benchmark lending rate by 10 basis points to 2.75%, diminishing the market demand for the Chinese Yuan. The unexpected move from the People\u2019s Bank of China had prompted investors to shift their portfolio into US Dollar as investors speculated the rate hike possibilities from the Federal Reserve in future. As of writing, the Dollar Index appreciated by 0.82% to 106.50.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, the crude oil price tumbled significantly on yesterday, while closing its price at $87.25 per barrel. The overall trend for the crude oil remained bearish amid weak economic data from China had added further pressure toward the global recession risk. On the other hand, the gold market slumped 0.01% to $1779.10 per troy ounces as of writing amid strengthening US Dollar.<\/p>\n
