Sterling dejected over Brexit menace.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Greenback edges higher on Tuesday against other major currencies over the backdrop of optimistic US wholesale inflation data. The dollar index was quoted up 0.24%, last seen around 93.37 during Asian trading session. According to the Labor Department, its Core Producer Price Index increased by 0.3% for the month of November, above economist forecast for an increase of only 0.1%. Regrettably, the data failed to alter market expectation towards US Federal Reserve as investors continued to price in at only 76% chance for an interest rate hike next week. Furthermore, prior softness in US economic data such as GDP and Nonfarm Payrolls has kept a lid over market\u2019s optimism upon future economic growth outlook. On the other hand, pound sterling extended its losses for second consecutive day following higher Brexit and political uncertainty in Britain. Question\u2019s over UK Prime Minister Theresa May\u2019s future continue to arise as she made little progress in convincing lawmakers in Brussels to amend the terms of her Brexit deal. In addition, reports showed that several UK lawmakers have sent letters of \u201cNo Confidence\u201d against her, raising doubt over her future. Pair of GBP\/USD was down 0.03% to 1.2493 as of writing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As for commodities market, crude oil price rose 0.13% to $51.98 during Asian trading session. Oil prices ended higher on yesterday as investor\u2019s poured in to buy back from a lower price range. However, volatility on the commodity is expected following contradicting signals in the market between rising US oil output and OPEC\u2019s decision to cut oil supply next year. On the other hand, gold price ticked down 0.02% to $1,243.12 a troy ounce as dollar rises.<\/p>\n
