Dollar flat as China eased its lockdown curb.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The index, which used to measure US dollar strength or weakness compared to a basket of six major currencies, lingered near the level of 104.00 as the reopening border of China tampered the market risk-off sentiment. According to the latest news, the China\u2019s National Health Commission has announced that they will stop forcing the inbound travelers to go into quarantine starting from 8th<\/sup> January 2023. As a further step of easing the Covid-19 curb, the China will also downgrade the management of Covid-19 from the current top level of Category A to the less stricter Category B as the disease has found to become less virulent and will evolve to a common type of respiratory infection gradually. With such a backdrop, the China economy is expected to recover strongly after been battered by the frequent lockdown measures since the resurgence of Covid-19, sparkling the market risk-on sentiment. On the other side, the likelihood of aggressive rate hike continues to drop alongside the inflationary pressures showed further sign of easing. Hence, the market failed to see a strong revival in the dollar index at the moment. As of writing, the dollar index dropped -0.14% to 104.15.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil prices up by 1.66% to $80.75 per barrel as China decided to loosen its Covid-19 restrictions starting from 8th<\/sup> January, boosting the market hopes of a demand recovery in the near-term future. Besides, gold prices appreciated by 0.85% to $1813.65 per troy ounce amid the weakening of dollar index.<\/p>\n
