Dollar loses steam, sterling shines through.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dollar-bulls vanished on yesterday after recent data showed that US manufacturing activity contracts extensively to half-year low. The dollar index mends its losses by 0.05% to 96.05 during Asian trading session. According to Institute for Supply Management, Manufacturing PMI for the month of October declined to a reading of 57.7 from 58.8, below economist expectation for a reading of 59.0. The data has notched its second monthly decline following softened consumption while production and employment expands sparingly but at a lower level when compared to September. In addition, the greenback was also being weighed down by a surge in pound sterling following reports that Britain is close to securing a financial services deal with the EU. The deal would enable UK financial services firms to gain access into the EU market after Brexit. Furthermore, sterling was further boosted after Bank of England hinted a faster pace of interest rate hike should UK and EU reached their consensus upon Brexit withdrawal agreement. As of writing, pair of GBP\/USD was down 0.11% to 1.2999.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As for commodities market, crude oil price plunged 2.25% since yesterday to $63.58 per barrel. The precious commodity extended its losses after India and South Korea agreed with the US on the outline of deals that would allow them to import some Iranian oil, playing down crude supply shortage possibility from US-backed sanction against Iran. Otherwise, gold price ticked up 0.02% to $1,232.97 a troy ounce following weaker dollar.<\/p>\n
