US Dollar skyrocketed as hawkish stance implied.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Dollar index which traded against a basket of six major currencies surged on yesterday as Fed emphasized its aggressive rate hike stance. The US central bank raised its interest rate by 50 basis point to 4.50% in early Thursday, after four consecutive 75 basis point hikes. In the Press Conference, the Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell reiterated that the current inflation data was not enough to convince Fed to turn its stance, even economy slips toward a possible recession, which hinted that further rate hike might be implemented. The Fed projected continued rate hikes to above 5% in 2023, a level not seen since a steep economic downturn in 2007. On the economic data front, a series of downbeat data has limited the gains of US Dollar. According to Census Bureau, the US retail sales fell more than expected in November, while the US Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index was also disappointed most of market participants. The pessimistic economy outlook has stoked a shift in sentiment toward other currencies which provided a better return. As of writing, the Dollar Index rose by 0.77% to 104.21.<\/p>\n

In the commodities market, the crude oil price edged up by 0.11% to $76.20 per barrel as of writing after the sharp decline throughout overnight trading session following the Canada’s TC Energy Corp was resuming operations in a section of its Keystone pipeline. In addition, the gold price dropped by 0.05% to $1776.62 per troy ounce as of writing over the strengthening of US Dollar.<\/p>\n
