According to the US Department of Labor, the US Initial Jobless Claims notched up from the previous reading of 190K to 211K, exceeding the market expectation of 195K. With that, it had reduced the possibility of aggressive rate hike plan which might by implemented by Fed, as it hinted that the impact of higher interest rates may be starting to bite. The CME FedWatch Tool has shown that the likelihood of half-percentage rate hike has decreased to 63.1% from prior 78.6%. Though, it is note-worthy that the speech given by Fed Chair has changed the market anticipation over interest rate decision. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said on Tuesday that the central bank\u2019s terminal rate might be higher than market expectation in order to tame inflation more efficiently. As of now, investors would continue to scrutinize the announcement of NFP data as it could provide a clearer picture on Fed\u2019s rate hike path. As of writing, the Dollar Index eased by 0.38% to 105.23.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the commodity market, the crude oil price dropped by 0.22% to $75.50 per barrel as of writing following the worries among aggressive rate hike by Fed still lingering in the market. On the other hand, the gold price appreciated by 0.04% to $1831.29 per troy ounce as of writing amid the weakening of US Dollar.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Holiday Market Close<\/u><\/p>\n<p><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>N\/A<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Highlight Events<\/u><\/p>\n<p><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>11:00\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 JPY\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BoJ Monetary Policy Statement<\/p>\n<p>13:00\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 JPY\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BoJ Press Conference<\/p>\n<p>23:00\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\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ECB President Lagarde Speaks<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Highlight Economic Data<\/u><\/p>\n<table width=\"105%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"10%\"><strong>Time<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"51%\"><strong>Nation &amp; Data<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"14%\"><strong>Previous<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\"><strong>Forecast<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"10%\"><strong>Actual<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"10%\">15:00<\/td>\n<td width=\"51%\">GBP &#8211; GDP (MoM) (Jan)<\/td>\n<td width=\"14%\">-0.50%<\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\">0.10%<\/td>\n<td width=\"10%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"10%\">15:00<\/td>\n<td width=\"51%\">GBP &#8211; Manufacturing Production (MoM) (Jan)<\/td>\n<td width=\"14%\">0.00%<\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\">-0.20%<\/td>\n<td width=\"10%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"10%\">15:00<\/td>\n<td width=\"51%\">GBP &#8211; Monthly GDP 3M\/3M Change (Jan)<\/td>\n<td width=\"14%\">-0.30%<\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\">-0.10%<\/td>\n<td width=\"10%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"10%\">15:00<\/td>\n<td width=\"51%\">EUR &#8211; German CPI (YoY) (Feb)<\/td>\n<td width=\"14%\">8.70%<\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\">8.70%<\/td>\n<td width=\"10%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"10%\">21:30<\/td>\n<td width=\"51%\">USD &#8211; Nonfarm Payrolls (Feb)<\/td>\n<td width=\"14%\">517K<\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\">200K<\/td>\n<td width=\"10%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"10%\">21:30<\/td>\n<td width=\"51%\">USD &#8211; Unemployment Rate (Feb)<\/td>\n<td width=\"14%\">3.40%<\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\">3.40%<\/td>\n<td width=\"10%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"10%\">21:30<\/td>\n<td width=\"51%\">CAD &#8211; Employment Change (Feb)<\/td>\n<td width=\"14%\">150.0K<\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\">10.0K<\/td>\n<td width=\"10%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Technical Analysis<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-308931\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gcmasia.co\/analysis\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/100323-DOLLAR_INDX.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gcmasia.co\/analysis\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/100323-DOLLAR_INDX.jpg 700w, http:\/\/www.gcmasia.co\/analysis\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/100323-DOLLAR_INDX-480x343.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 700px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>DOLLAR_INDX, Daily: <\/strong>Dollar index was traded lower while currently testing the support level.
