Dollar slips following weak housing data.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dollar index fell against its basket of six major rival pairs after the weak release of U.S Existing Home Sales data yesterday. According to the National Association of Realtors, existing home sales have fell to 4.99M which missed economists\u2019 expectations with the reading of 5.25M. The sluggish housing data which starting to hint a slowdown in U.S economy following rising mortgage rates and also labor shortages that lead to the tightening of home supplies. Besides that, the uncertainty in trade war between China and US remains a concern in the market where the unresolved trade dispute could dragged the sentiment further below. Dollar slips 0.02% to 95.75 as of writing. Meanwhile, NZD\/USD skyrocketed 0.19% to 0.6762 at the time of writing following upbeat CPI data. According to Statistics New Zealand, New Zealand CPI for Q4 came in 1.9% by surprise which beat market expectation of 1.8%. The surprising data reflects the economy in New Zealand remains steady and growing, thus, encouraging the bid for the kiwi.<\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil price stabilized and edged higher 0.11% to $52.79 per barrel at the time of writing. However, crude oil sentiment remains limited by weak China and global economy slowdown fears. The black commodity remains underpinned by recent China data which reflects on the process of slowdown in its economy. The ongoing trade dispute between US and China also continues to weaken the market as a widespread economy downturn is widely expected to dent the demand of fuel and oil. Market participant will now focus on upcoming inventories data to determine further direction for the commodity. On the other hand, gold price rose 0.05% to 1284.75 following safe-haven choice supported by sluggish dollar.<\/p>\n
