British Pound extended losses on disappointing PMI data.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Pound Sterling (GBP), which was widely traded by global investors, dropped after the announcement of a disappointing PMI in the UK. According to the Markit\/CIPS, the UK manufacturing PMI dropped from 46.5 to 45.0, lower than market forecast at 46.1 while refreshing the record of lowest level in 6 months. Besides, the UK services PMI also dropped from 53.7 to 51.5, lower than market forecast at 53.0. Both of the weaker-than-expected PMI data represented that the UK economy was suppressed by the higher prices and poor demand, where investors were afraid that the recession scenario may come true. Not only UK economic condition is slowing down, the global economic condition is slowing down also, like Europe, France and Germany, which has proven by the downbeat PMI. Besides that, the investors have reduced their expectation of rate hike from Bank of England (BoE), from 50 basis points to 25 basis points as the risk of recession loomed. On the other hands, the US Dollar Index turned bullish as the US economy remained strong despite a series of rate hikes had been conducted by the Federal Reserve. Moreover, according to the CME FedWatch Tool, there are almost 99% of the investors expect the interest rate will be hiked by Fed again with another 25 basis point on coming Thursday. As of writing, the GBP\/USD rose 0.05% to 1.2835.<\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil prices rose 0.28% to $78.90 per barrel due to production cuts announced earlier by Saudi Arabia and Russia. Also, China as a biggest oil importer, is expected to implement more stimulus package to spur its economy, which in turn will boost up the oil demand. Besides, gold prices rose 0.40% to $1962.40 per troy amid the weakening of US Dollar.<\/p>\n
