Trade talk sparks optimism in the market.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

US dollar edges lower during mid-Asian trading session following higher optimism which surrounds trade talk between United States and China. As of writing, the dollar index depreciates by 0.11% to 95.32 against six major peers. Increasing positive sentiment and demand for riskier assets has helped to lift the Australian dollar after US government officials announced that trade talks between Washington and Beijing will continue for an unscheduled third day this Wednesday. Following the news, pair of AUD\/USD rose 0.32% to 0.7161. Australian dollar is often being seen as a proxy for China\u2019s growth as Beijing is the largest importer of Australia\u2019s commodities and goods. In addition, the greenback received further setbacks following dovish statement from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell which noted some downside risks on US economic growth and progression. On the other hand, pair of GBP\/USD rose 0.18% to 1.2740. Economist is expecting pound sterling to remain volatile over the next few weeks as UK attempts to resolve Brexit conundrum.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As for commodities market, crude oil price skyrocketed 1.43% to $50.39 per barrel. The commodity received stronger bullish support amid higher optimism for a trade war resolution between US and China. Otherwise, gold price was traded flat around $1,284.24 a troy ounce while market participants monitor the outcome of trade talks.<\/p>\n
