 <\/p>\n

Euro slumped following a rate hike as investors expected.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Euro, which was widely traded by global investors, slumped after European Central Bank (ECB) hiked interest rate and ECB Press Conference. ECB raised its policy rates by 25 basis points (bps) from 4.0% to 4.25%, matched as the market forecast at 4.25%. Although there was a hike on interest rate, but due to German and French are Euro largest economic countries and their economic conditions were underperformed, the Euro economic condition might be unable to support this high level of interest rate, and eventually the investors lost confidents on Euro. Besides that, during the ECB Press Conference, President Lagarde said \u201cWe have an open mind as to what the decisions will be in September and in subsequent meetings,\u201d which means the coming September interest rate could be a further hike or hold. Current Europe inflation rate still remain too high for ECB target – 2% of inflation until mid-2025. Investors are keeping their eyes on today\u2019s French and German GDP data to scrutinize the future direction of the single currency. As of writing, EUR\/USD dropped -0.06% to 1.0965.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil prices dropped -0.52% to $79.65 per barrel as a temporary correction. However, the long term prospect of the oil market remains decent amid ongoing OPEC oil production cut and hopes of China recovery. Besides, gold prices rose 0.48% to $1954.82 per troy after a slump of around $35 amid the strengthening of US Dollar.<\/p>\n
