Dollar consolidates above 97.60 while awaits further sentiment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dollar index which measures it value against a basket of six major currencies was down by 0.05% to 97.65 after last week release of mixed data. Although dollar was supported by higher than expected GDP reading which possibly indicates strong growth, however the fall in personal consumption expenditures spiraled worries in the market that the country\u2019s inflation might be falling. For this week, the dollar market is expected to undergo large fluctuations amid FOMC rate statement and its conference, Core PCE index data as well as Friday\u2019s Nonfarm Payroll (NFP) and Average Hourly Earnings. Investors will look at these various data to further gauge the long-term trend for dollar. Besides that, top-level trade talks are also expected this week where US President Donald Trump stated that he is ready to meet Chinese Premier Xi Jinping at the White House and hope to finalize a deal during its meeting. In the events that the war between two economic powerhouses could reach an end, tariffs would be lifted and both the country can strongly benefit in terms of economy as well as politics. In other news, China\u2019s major trading partner Australia will also receive support and the Aussie dollar may rise. The pair of AUD\/USD was up by 0.26% to 0.7055 as of writing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil price pared part of its losses by 0.14% to $62.91 per barrel. Oil prices continues to be pressured by Trump\u2019s tweet which urged OPEC to lower oil prices and increase production. Besides that, concerns from Russia ending its glut cut deal with OPEC during OPEC\u2019s June meeting further worsen oil sentiment. Otherwise, gold price edged lower by 0.06% to $1,285.00 a troy ounce while market participants wait for further catalyst in the market.<\/p>\n
