As of writing, pair of GBP\/USD depreciates by 0.39% to 1.3093. On yesterday, an amendment suggested by Labor MP Yvette Cooper that sought to extend the Brexit deadline if MPs fail to approve Withdrawal Agreement by February 26<sup>th<\/sup> has been rejected by the Parliament. Without an option for extension of deadline, Britain is highly possible to exit from the EU without securing a deal. Subsequently, UK Prime Minister Theresa May will be heading to Brussels and persuade EU lawmakers in making amendments upon prior agreed Withdrawal Deal. However, EU has previously rejected to renegotiate the deal and this may further complicate Brexit progress and chances of \u201csoft exit\u201d. On the other hand, pair of AUD\/USD rose 0.58% to 0.7195. The Australian dollar received higher demand over the backdrop of bullish CPI data and upward revision on iron ore price forecasts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As for commodities, crude oil price appreciates by 0.43% to $53.28 per barrel. Oil prices extended its gains while traders assess the degree of oil shortage after US enacted sanctions against several Venezuela\u2019s nationally owned oil companies. Otherwise, gold price ticks up 0.17% to $1,313.93 a troy ounce following higher risk.<\/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>03:00 (31<sup>st<\/sup>) \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 USD\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 FOMC Statement<br \/>\n03:00 (31<sup>st<\/sup>)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 USD\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 FOMC Press Conference<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Highlight Economic Data<\/u><\/p>\n<table width=\"104%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"14%\"><strong>Time<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"51%\"><strong>Market &amp; Data<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"12%\"><strong>Previous<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"11%\"><strong>Forecast<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"9%\"><strong>Actual<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"14%\">21:00<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"51%\">EUR \u2013 German CPI (MoM) (Jan)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"12%\">0.1%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"11%\">-0.7%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"9%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"14%\">21:15<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"51%\">USD \u2013 ADP Nonfarm Employment Change (Jan)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"12%\">271K<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"11%\">170K<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"9%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"14%\">21:30<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"51%\">USD \u2013 GDP (QoQ) (Q4)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"12%\">3.4%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"11%\">2.6%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"9%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"14%\">23:00<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"51%\">USD \u2013 Pending Home Sales (MoM) (Dec)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"12%\">-0.7%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"11%\">1.1%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"9%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"14%\">23:30<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"51%\">CrudeOIL \u2013 Crude Oil Inventories<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"12%\">7.970M<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"11%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"9%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"14%\">03:00 (31<sup>st<\/sup>)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"51%\">USD \u2013 Fed Interest Rate Decision<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"12%\">2.50%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"11%\">2.50%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"9%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Technical Analysis<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45586\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gcmasia.co\/analysis\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/01\/300119-DOLLARINDX-noon.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>DOLLAR_INDX, H1: <\/strong>Dollar index remains traded within a sideways channel.
