Dollar slumped lower as weakness persist, AUD gains.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dollar index which measuring against a basket of six major currency pairs have fell 0.10% to 96.18 at the time of writing as greenback sellers remain dominant on the greenback weakness. Recent weak data where ADP shows lower-than-expected jobs generation in the private sector continues to fuel the sell-off upon US dollar. Besides that, falling Treasury yields boosted expectations the U.S. Federal Reserve will cut their interest rates later this month for the first time in a decade where as it inches towards the lowest level in more than 2-1\/2 years. Market participants will now focus upon U.S non-farm payrolls for further signals with regards to the direction of the greenback. Meanwhile, AUD\/USD gains 0.21% to 0.7040 as of writing despite downbeat retail sales data. According to Australian Bureau of Statistic, retail sales in Australia have slipped 0.1% which missed market expectation with the reading of 0.2%. However, bullish bets upon the Aussie dollar remain resilient after recent report shows that the Australian government is close to secure a major tax cut plan which may further support their economy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As for commodities market, crude oil price fell 0.82% to $56.81 per barrel due to weak oil stockpile data. According to Energy Information Association, U.S crude oil stockpiles dropped 1.1 million barrels last week, which is lesser than expected for a decrease of 3 million barrels. The data indicates that the oil market remains oversupplied despite recent extension on production cut by OPEC and its allies. On the other hand, gold price inched higher 0.13% to $1420.51 a troy ounce due to depreciation in treasury yields which places pressure upon the greenback.<\/p>\n
