Overnight, the FOMC Committee released their statement that there was a lack of urgency to tighten monetary policy in a more aggressive pace given that \u201cmodestly above 2 percent would be consistent with the committee\u2019s symmetric inflation target and could be helpful in anchoring inflation expectations in the long run\u201d. In addition, according to the administration officials and industry executives, US President Trump and his administration is looking into using national-security laws to impose new tariffs on vehicle imports, thus provoking market participants\u2019 concerns over the risks of global trade war. On the other hand, GBP\/USD fell 0.67% to $1.3355 following the release of worse-than-expected Consumer Price Index (CPI) data in April, last stood at 2.4% versus the expected reading of 2.5%, thus lowering investors\u2019 expectations towards the Bank of England (BoE) to increase its interest rates within a shorter timeframe.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In the commodities market, crude oil price fell by 0.15% to $71.63 per barrel following expectations over the potential increase in OPEC output in response to make up for reduced supply from Iran and Venezuela. Otherwise, gold price rose 0.20% to $1294.00 a troy ounce in the wake of recent geopolitical uncertainty as triggered by Trump\u2019s new tariff plan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><u>Today\u2019s Holiday Market Close<\/u><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Time\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Market\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Event<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">N\/A<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><u>Today\u2019s Highlight Events<\/u><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Time\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Market\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Event<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">16:00\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 GBP\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0BoE Gov Carney Speaks<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">16:15\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 USD\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0FOMC Member Dudley Speaks<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">19:30\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 EUR\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0ECB Publishes Account of Monetary Policy Meeting<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">22:35\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 USD\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0FOMC Member Bostic Speaks<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Tentative (Fri)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 EUR\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0BoE Gov Carney Speaks<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">02:00 (Fri)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 USD\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0FOMC Member Harker Speaks<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><u><br \/>\n<\/u><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><u>Today\u2019s Highlight Economy Data<\/u><\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"9%\"><strong>Time<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"55%\"><strong>Nation &amp;
