Dollar rebounds as US stock market rallies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Greenback strengthened against a basket of six major currencies pair as US stock market rebounds from its low, gaining more than 2 percent from its technology shares while regaining stability for the equity markets. However, market participants remained cautions while waiting for further sentiment in the midst of US political turmoil. Recent market uncertainties include US President Donald Trump Mexico border wall where he emphasized that partial shutdown of the federal government will last until his funds request for the wall is met. Besides that, Trump also criticized the Federal Reserve (Fed) for continuously increasing interest rate while economy is slowing down, blaming the Fed as the main problem for its economy. Dollar index increased by 0.48% to 96.50 as of writing. In other news, pair of USD\/JPY retraced from yesterday\u2019s high, falling by 0.24% to 111.10 during early Asian trading session. The safe-haven Yen underwent a large sell-off when investors risk appetite shifted towards the dollar market due to US stocks rebound. As market sentiment improved for the dollar market, investors reacted quickly by shifting their investments from safe-haven assets, causing the Yen to lose last 3 days of its gains.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil price retraced by 0.82% to $46.20 after rebounding as much as 8%, its largest one-day increased since 30th<\/sup> November 2016 amid improved sentiment arising from US stocks market. However, market sentiment remains cloudy for the crude as market uncertainties still exist while investors will focus on the impact of OPEC production cut early next month. On the other hand, gold price rebounds by 0.28% to $1270.50 a troy ounce after falling from its higher levels due to US stocks rebound. Sentiment for the gold market remains strong as global uncertainties still haunts market participants.<\/p>\n
