Greenback topple as doves\u2019 flutters.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

US dollar slipped down during late Friday trading session following dovish comments delivered by Federal Reserve policymaker. As of writing, the dollar index was quoted down 0.12% to 96.35. According to Fed vice Chair Randal Quarles, he commented that if their plans for a balance sheet normalization contradicts with their prior objective, they may reassess their approach towards the normalization in the future. Balance sheet normalization was used to combat potential slowdown in the labor market or a slack in inflationary pressure. Such comments indicate that the central bank may prepare to halt their balance sheet unwinding program later this year and yet another gesture for a potential halt in their monetary policy tightening. On the other hand, pound sterling rose 0.05% to 1.3059 against the US dollar during Asian trading session. Currently, PM Theresa May is seeking to make changes upon the Irish backstop, a move which may increase the chances for passing through Brexit deal within the UK Parliament.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As for commodities, crude oil price rose 0.26% to $56.89 per barrel. Oil prices received some support since last Friday after US Baker Hughes reported its first decline in 3 weeks over US oil rigs by 4 to 853. Likewise, further progressiveness on trade talks between the US and China has also increased the optimism in the financial market towards global economic outlook and crude demands. On the other hand, gold price ticks up 0.02% to $1,327.86 a troy ounce following diminishing chances for a rate hike in the US.<\/p>\n
