Greenback extend losses amid poor data and Brexit highlights.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dollar index measuring against a basket of six major currencies plunged by 0.30% before closing Friday\u2019s market at 96.49 amid poor Industrial Production and NY Empire State Manufacturing Index data. With a slowdown in manufacturing index of 3.7 compared to 10.0 and poor factory output of 0.1% compared to 0.4%, investors shifted their portfolio towards riskier market mainly pound. Last week, UK Parliament undergo 3 important votes which resolved in the extend of 29th<\/sup> March Brexit date and lawmakers are now struggling with UK Prime Minister Theresa May motion for a third vote towards her Brexit deal. With hard-Brexit out of the picture, investors are motivated into investing in the pound, extending the pair of GBP\/USD gains by 0.03% to 1.3293.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the commodities market, crude oil price retraced from its 3 months high by 0.15% to $58.43 per barrel. Recent efforts from OPEC glut cut and US sanctions on Venezuela and Iran oil continues to push oil prices higher. Further boosting the oil market was low inventory data reported by API and EIA and also the reduction of 1 oil rig as reported by US Baker Hughes. Likewise, gold price extended its gains by 0.47% to $1302.23 per troy ounce following weak dollar.<\/p>\n
