Prior, May proposed a revised version of the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement to the Parliament which includes an option to call for a second referendum. Some members from her own Conservative and Opposition party revolts over the new version, placing pressure upon her to resign as soon as possible. In addition, a senior cabinet minister resigns from the government on yesterday, citing May\u2019s failure to bring out a substantial Brexit agreement which will take Britain out of the European Union efficiently. On the other hand, greenback extended its gains for third consecutive day as market participants digests a rather neutral stance portrayed by Federal Reserve in the latest meeting minutes. Several Fed officials backs Jerome Powell\u2019s view that recent dip in inflation is likely to be transitory and they should adopt a rather \u201cpatient\u201d approach to their policy. The minutes reinforced prior message from Powell whereby the current interest rate level is appropriate for the time being and there is no strong reason for any changes to be made. As of writing, pair of GBP\/USD slumped 0.03% to 1.2664 while the dollar index ticks up 0.02% to 97.90.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the commodities market, crude oil price rose 0.08% to $61.23 per barrel. Yesterday, oil prices nosedived more than 3% after EIA crude oil inventories showed a surprise build for last week at around 5 million barrels. Otherwise, gold price was traded flat at around $1,274.03 a troy ounce as market sentiment remains mixed for the time being.<\/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>19:30\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 EUR\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\u00a0 ECB Publishes Account of Monetary Policy Meeting<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u><br \/>\n<\/u><\/p>\n<p><u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Highlight Economic Data<\/u><\/p>\n<table width=\"101%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"13%\"><strong>Time<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"53%\"><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=\"13%\">14:00<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"53%\">EUR \u2013 German GDP (QoQ) (Q1)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"12%\">0.4%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"11%\">0.4%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"9%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"13%\">15:30<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"53%\">EUR \u2013 German Manufacturing PMI (May)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"12%\">44.4<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"11%\">44.8<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"9%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"13%\">16:00<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"53%\">EUR \u2013 German Ifo Business Climate Index<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"12%\">99.2<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"11%\">99.2<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"9%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"13%\">20:30<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"53%\">USD \u2013 Initial Jobless Claims<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"12%\">212K<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"11%\">215K<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"9%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"13%\">22:00<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"53%\">USD \u2013 New Home Sales (Apr)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"12%\">692K<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"11%\">675K<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"9%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\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-60339\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gcmasia.co\/analysis\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/230519-DOLLARINDX.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>DOLLAR_INDX, H4: <\/strong>Dollar index was traded higher following prior rebound from the lower level.
