In spite of that, market still portrays optimistic sentiment towards the Fed to tighten its monetary policy in the coming meeting minutes due to recent rise in bond yields as well as healthy economic growth as displayed by most of the recent economic data. On the contrary, Euro suffered losses against the Greenback by 0.16% to $1.1780 following continuous political uncertainty in Italy and economic recession in the European zone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In the commodities market, crude oil price fell 0.24% to $72.00 per barrel off its 3.5 year highs following prospect over the OPEC to increase its oil output next month after the former expressed its concerns over Iranian supply curb and falling Venezuelan output.
