Early today, a top US economic official said on Sunday that the talk between congressional staff and the White House has been &#8220;constructive&#8221; as the US debt ceiling deadline approaches on June 1. Prior to that, the talk was postponed once as staff-level talks continued. Besides, President Joe Biden also said that he looks forward to getting together with the leaders to talk about how they continue to make progress. Despite no agreement or deal being sealed at this point in time, the \u2018constructive\u2019 progress in raising the debt limit has cheered the market sentiment. On the economic front, the Michigan Consumer Sentiment data, which represents consumer confidence and optimism in the US, came in at 57.7, much lower than the consensus forecast of 63.0. The consumer sentiment tumbled significantly as market worries escalated in the month of May amid ongoing banking crisis risk and the possibility of lawmakers failing to resolve the debt ceiling heightened. As of writing, the dollar index edged up 0.02% to 102.70.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the commodities market, crude oil prices dropped by -0.02% to $70.05 per barrel after the market corrected on recession fears and a stronger US dollar. Besides, gold prices ticked down by -0.01% to $2010.60 per troy ounce as the dollar strengthened.<\/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>N\/A<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Highlight Economic Data<\/u><\/p>\n<p>N\/A<\/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-322895\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gcmasia.co\/analysis\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/150523-DOLLAR_INDX.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1071\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gcmasia.co\/analysis\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/150523-DOLLAR_INDX.jpg 1500w, http:\/\/www.gcmasia.co\/analysis\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/150523-DOLLAR_INDX-1280x914.jpg 1280w, http:\/\/www.gcmasia.co\/analysis\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/150523-DOLLAR_INDX-980x700.jpg 980w, http:\/\/www.gcmasia.co\/analysis\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/150523-DOLLAR_INDX-480x343.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1500px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>DOLLAR_INDX, Daily: <\/strong>Dollar index was traded higher following the prior rebound from the support level at 100.65.
