AUD rises despite rate cut.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Australian dollar received higher bidding at noon despite fresh rate cut from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). As expected by the market, RBA has announced to cut their interest rate by 25 basis points from 1.50% to 1.25% during its policy meeting today. RBA cited that the downside risks towards their economy continues to rise over the backdrop of trade tension in between US and China. However, market participants gave a rather bullish outlook towards the Australian dollar despite its latest rate cut as RBA avoids from portraying pessimism in its statement while citing further upside in terms of inflation progression for mid-term. As of writing, pair of AUD\/USD rose 0.05% to 0.6979. On the other hand, pair of USD\/JPY extended its losses by 0.14% to 107.91 during mid-Asian trading session. Traders in the market begins to short US dollar following higher expectation towards Federal Reserve in cutting their interest rates for the near-term. On yesterday, 10-year Treasury yield fell to its lowest level since September 2017 after St Louis Fed President James Bullard signaled that a rate cut \u201cmay be warranted soon\u201d due to higher economic risks due to trade tension and weak US inflation.<\/p>\n

In terms of commodity, crude oil price rebounds by 0.63% to $53.12 per barrel. Oil futures received higher demand after Saudi Arabia express their confidence that they may extend the oil cut agreement into the second half of the year. Otherwise, gold price ticks up 0.02% to $1,352.02 a troy ounce following higher risk aversion in the market.<\/p>\n
