Dollar rose as demand increased.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dollar index climbed against six major peers amid Britain\u2019s failure to come out with a Brexit deal that majority of the investor expects it would be announced within this week. According to UK\u2019s Financial Times, Prime Minister Theresa May call the current draft Brexit deal as \u201cNon-Starter\u201d while EU leaders may cancel plans for special summit in November due to slow progress in negotiations. In addition, Brexit negotiations took another hit after stumbling upon progress-block whereby the issue between Northern Ireland and Ireland\u2019s hard border is still unresolved while a win-win solution is still not being achieved by both Britain and Brussels. Therefore, market participant turns their investment from Pound Sterling to US Dollar due to the latter\u2019s status being the next safe haven\u2019s currency. For the time being, investors will place their attention upon the release of Retail Sales data from US later today for further market signals. As of writing, dollar index rose 0.11% to 94.95 while pairing of GBP\/USD depreciates by 0.33% to 1.3110.<\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil price was up 0.94% to $72.15 per barrel amid geopolitical tensions over the sudden disappearance of post columnist Jamal Khashoggi from Saudi Arabia, prompting scrutiny from the international spotlight which may jeopardize the country\u2019s supply. On the other hand, gold price rose 0.35% to $1,222.00 per troy ounce as Brexit ongoing conundrum catalyzed higher safe haven demand in the market.<\/p>\n
