 <\/p>\n

Bear continued to control the US Dollar market.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The dollar index, which traded against a basket of mainstream currencies, extended its losses as the massive sell-off activity continued during the last trading session in last week. Prior to that, the US Bureau of Labor Statistic released the long-waited inflation figure on Thursday. To reiterate, the data came in at a weaker pace as compared to the prior month\u2019s reading, mirroring a further ease of inflation in the month of December. With that, it heralds a further tapering in the Fed\u2019s tightening monetary policy stance, leading to a higher chance of only 25 basis-point rate hike in the upcoming meeting. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the likelihood of a 25-basis point rate hike surged further to the level at 94.2%, whereas the odds of 50 basis point of rate hike was only 5.8%. On the other side, although US Michigan Consumer Sentiment for January printed a stronger-than-expected result, but the US Dollar market sentiment still overshadowed by the prospect of less aggressive rate hike. As of writing, the dollar index dropped -0.06% to 102.20.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil prices rose by 0.02% to $80.00 per barrel as the depreciation of US dollar caused the dollar-denominated crude oil cheaper for foreign buyer, driving up the demand of oil. Besides, gold prices edged up by 0.05% to $1920.15 per troy ounce amid the weakening of dollar index.<\/p>\n
