Market condition at early European trading session was slow except for the Japanese Yen market which receive a large buy-off as Brexit faces an impasse as UK Prime Minister Theresa May faces the pressure at EU and with her own Parliament. With the current decision to remain in a custom union with the EU, investors fear that the deadline for Brexit would be delayed longer. Further worsening investors\u2019 risk appetite was the rejection of Italy\u2019s GDP budget plan where they propose for a 2.4% of GDP to be used as government expenditure. The negative sentiment surrounding the risky assets influence the investors to shift their investment to safe haven market, increasing the dollar by 0.12% to 95.80 while pair of USD\/JPY decreased by 0.32% to 112.40 as of writing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As for commodities market, crude oil price plunged by 0.56% to $69.00 per barrel amid reports that Saudi Arabia promised to balance the shortfall of crude supply from the upcoming Iran sanction.
