US dollar muted ahead of Fed\u2019s interest rate decision.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The dollar index, which was traded against a basket of six major currencies, failed to extend its gains yesterday as the market participant remained cautious ahead of the Fed\u2019s interest rate decision. Prior to now, the country’s currency managed to rebound from a 15-month low as there were some signs of remarkable resilience in the U.S. economy and ongoing weakness in Europe. But now, a majority of economists polled by Reuters now anticipate that Wednesday’s rate increase will be the last one in the current tightening cycle by the central bank. While the likelihood of a rate hike is largely factored into the markets, the uncertainty remains regarding the bank’s future signals, especially since U.S. inflation continues to trend above the annual target range set by the Fed. With that, there was no reason to rule out the possibility that the Fed will stick to its plan for at least one more rate hike this year following the Thursday move. On the other hand, the U.S. Consumer Confidence for the month of July reached a two-year high, supported by a tight labor market and easing inflationary pressures. However, it failed to spur the dollar index as the market participants continue to harbor fears of a potential recession following a series of rate hikes by Fed. As of writing, the dollar index dropped -0.07% to 101.30.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil prices spiked by 0.51% to $79.40 per barrel as a news reported that the China will step up its economic policy adjustments soon. Besides, gold prices edged up by 0.02% to $1964.50 per troy ounce amid the weakness of dollar index.<\/p>\n
