As of writing, the dollar index was quoted down 0.40%, last seen around 96.96 during Asian trading hours. According to US Labor Department, its Consumer Price Index (CPI) remained unchanged for the month of November, missing economist forecast for a rise of 0.1%. The data accompanies a series of bearish economic releases while some analyst postulate that the US may derail from Federal Reserve\u2019s goal if its current condition continues to worsen. On the other hand, pair of GBP\/USD surged more than 1% to 1.2630 after UK Prime Minister Theresa May survives a \u201cNo Confidence\u201d vote against her. According to reports, 200 out of 317 members of parliament from Conservative Party voted in favor for May, allowing her to retain her party\u2019s leadership and pushing forward with her Brexit draft. In a speech given by May, she postulates that the draft will likely be submitted to Parliament by the end of January for voting. However, EU refuses to renegotiate the deal, leaving her in a stalemate situation as of current.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As for commodities market, crude oil price settled down 1% to $51.30 per barrel. The commodity suffered from deep losses after Reuters reported a sooner-than-expected start of Sunrise oil pipe line system in West Texas that could boost crude inventories in Oklahoma to one-year high. Otherwise, gold price extended gains by 0.07% to $1,246.51 a troy ounce as dollar falters since yesterday night.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Holiday Market Close<\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>Time\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Market\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Event<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>N\/A<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Highlight Events<\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>Time\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Market\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Event<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>16:30\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 CHF\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SNB Monetary Policy Assessment<\/p>\n<p>16:30\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 CHF\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SNB Press Conference<\/p>\n<p>Tentative\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 EUR\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 EU Leaders Summit<\/p>\n<p>21:30\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 EUR\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ECB Press Conference<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u><br \/>\n<\/u><\/p>\n<p><u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Highlight Economic Data<\/u><\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"8%\"><strong>Time<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"55%\"><strong>Market &amp; Data<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"13%\"><strong>Previous<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"11%\"><strong>Forecast<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"11%\"><strong>Actual<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"8%\">16:30<\/td>\n<td width=\"55%\">CHF \u2013 SNB Interest Rate Decision<\/td>\n<td width=\"13%\">-0.75%<\/td>\n<td width=\"11%\">-0.75%<\/td>\n<td width=\"11%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"8%\">20:45<\/td>\n<td width=\"55%\">EUR \u2013 Deposit Facility Rate<\/td>\n<td width=\"13%\">-0.40%<\/td>\n<td width=\"11%\">-0.40%<\/td>\n<td width=\"11%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"8%\">20:45<\/td>\n<td width=\"55%\">EUR \u2013 ECB Marginal Lending Facility<\/td>\n<td width=\"13%\">0.25%<\/td>\n<td width=\"11%\">0.25%<\/td>\n<td width=\"11%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"8%\">20:45<\/td>\n<td width=\"55%\">EUR \u2013 ECB Interest Rate Decision (Dec)<\/td>\n<td width=\"13%\">0.00%<\/td>\n<td width=\"11%\">0.00%<\/td>\n<td width=\"11%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"8%\">21:30<\/td>\n<td width=\"55%\">USD \u2013 Import Price Index (MoM) (Nov)<\/td>\n<td width=\"13%\">0.5%<\/td>\n<td width=\"11%\">-1.0%<\/td>\n<td width=\"11%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"8%\">21:30<\/td>\n<td width=\"55%\">USD \u2013 Initial Jobless Claims<\/td>\n<td width=\"13%\">231K<\/td>\n<td width=\"11%\">226K<\/td>\n<td width=\"11%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Technical Analysis<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40918\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gcmasia.co\/analysis\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/131218-DOLLAR-INDX.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>DOLLAR_INDX, H1: <\/strong>Dollar index was traded higher following prior rebound from the support level at 96.80.
