Dollar retreats amid data release of US Retail Sales.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The dollar index has retreated from a previous high and current sentiment is now coupled with the Retail Sales data release. According the US Census Bureau, the retail rate of consumer items for June has given a positive reading with an increase of 0.5%, which is higher than market expectations with the reading of 0.1%. In addition, dollar sentiment remains stimulated by the weaknesses in the Eurozone, which has been pressured by fears of European banks’ exposure to Turkey as well as increasing expectations of interest rates for September. All these factors have confirmed the dollar sentiment remain subjected to a bullish momentum for long term. The dollar index has slipped 0.03% to 96.40 as of writing. Meanwhile, GBPUSD has rose 0.17% to 1.2704 at the time of writing following the release of inflation data which have met expectations overnight. According to National Statistics from the UK, UK CPI data which measures the rate of expenditure on goods and services in the country has also increased by 2.5% from the previous data with a reading of 2.4%, which also in line with market expectations. However, the sentiment for the pound remains offset by the ongoing fears in the country for the Brexit plan where it is likely to fail to achieve any trade agreement.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodity market, crude oil prices have recovered by 0.31% to $65.06 per barrel from a sharp drop yesterday after data on Crude Oil Inventories posted an increase of 6.8 million barrels last week, missed from expectations for a decrease of 2.4 million barrels. On the other hand, Gold prices have plummeted 0.45% to $ 1169.62 per troy ounce following the strength of the dollar driven by positive economic data yesterday.
