Tariff on EU goods postponed.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dollar index which gauge its value against a basket of six major currencies was traded lower following a news regarding Donald Trump\u2019s plan to postpone tariff on EU goods. As the deadline inch closer, Donald Trump faces an issue on his threat to impose tariff as much as 25% on imported cars and parts from EU. According to Bloomberg, the motive of Donald Trump delaying auto tariff on EU is to avoid further deteriorate of political relationship between US and its allies as blowing up negotiation with EU might be a \u2018bad move\u2019 for US, given the current trade war tension with China. As of now, Dollar index ticked down 0.04% to 97.30. On the other hand, the pair of AUD\/USD tumbled 0.14% to 0.6915 amid poor data which heightened the negative momentum in Aussie dollar. According to Australian Bureau of Statistic, Unemployment Rate for the month of April came in at 5.2%, exceeding the economist forecast of 5.0%. The downbeat data has cemented that RBA lowering down the interest rate from 1.75% to 1.5% to contend the sign of economic slowdown in Australia is a perfect move.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, crude oil price rose 0.43% to $62.35 per barrel amid heightened Mideast tensions initiated fears of supply disruptions on crude oil. Besides, bullish momentum on crude oil has also been triggered by OPEC following its adjustment on world demand for its oil will be higher than expected.
