Overnight, the Greenback has failed to pare its losses despite retail sales data showing a better-than-expected reading of 0.6% versus 0.4% seen. The Greenback sell-off continues instead after the Empire State Manufacturing Index revealed an actual reading of 15.80 versus the economists\u2019 forecast of 18.80. All in all, the Greenback remained under pressure as investors await further development when U.S has announced to impose economic sanctions on Russia prior to its involvement in Syria\u2019s use of chemical weapons. On the contrary, GBP\/USD rose 0.58% to its 10-month highs at $1.4343, buoyed by optimistic market sentiment towards the Bank of England (BoE) to increase its interest rates as soon as next month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In the commodities market, crude oil price stabilized around $66.50 per barrel following market participants mulled over Syria related news while shifting their attention to the US sanctions on Russia and Iran. Otherwise, gold price extended gains by 0.07% to $1348.42 a troy ounce following the softening of the Greenback.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Holiday Market
