AUD rebounds but short-lived.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Australian dollar managed to rebound from its prior low levels following the release of bullish economic data from the region. As of writing, pair of AUD\/USD was quoted up 0.10% to 0.6879. According to Australian Bureau of Statistics, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the second quarter came in higher than expected at 0.6%, slightly higher than forecast of only 0.5%. The data came in as a surprise for traders in the FX market as most of them expects bleak inflationary pressure in the region. However, the rebound on the Australian dollar was rather short-lived as Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) once commented to expect an \u201cextended period of low rates\u201d despite strong employment market and low jobless rate. RBA remains in a dovish stance as global economic momentum remains as an uncertainty due to rising trade tension especially China, its main trade partner. On the other hand, pair of USD\/JPY depreciates by 0.03% to 108.56. Japanese yen received some bidding earlier this morning after North Korea fired multiple projectiles for the second time in a week, raising geopolitical tension between Washington and Pyongyang.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As for commodities market, crude oil price extended gains by 0.15% to $58.33 per barrel. Oil futures received higher demand after American Petroleum Institute reported that US crude oil stock depreciates by -6.024 million barrels last week. On the other hand, gold price slumped 0.17% to $1,428.42 a troy ounce due to a rebound in the US dollar.<\/p>\n
