Greenback notched up amid risk aversion.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The dollar index, which traded against a basket of mainstream currencies, managed to hold its ground and it regained its luster over the past trading session amid the market risk aversion ahead of the kickoff of year 2023. Prior to that, the market is hyped with the risk-on mood as investors were focused on China restarting its economy and bet on the path of future rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. However, the yield on benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasuries surged significantly and even hit the highest level in nearly 7 weeks as investors eyed 2023 with caution. On top of that, the Greenback received some buy-in momentum after latest minutes from the Bank of Japan suggested its accommodative monetary stance is likely to remain in place. With that, it hit the Japanese Yen as the suggested continuation of ultra-accommodative policy are against with the strategy of the other central bank. Besides, the downbeat result which printed by the Pending Home Sales data limited the gains of dollar index. The data came in at -4.0%, missing the consensus forecast at -0.8%, reflecting the housing sector was hit hard following a series of rate hikes decision by the Federal Reserve. As of writing, the dollar index rose 0.27% to 104.45.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil price edged down -1.46% to $78.80 per barrel on fears that surging virus cases would hinder a demand uptick in China. Besides, gold prices depreciated by -0.08% to $1805.75 per troy ounce following the rebound in US dollar.<\/p>\n
