Dollar sags following Trump latest tweet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dollar index plummets against a basket of six major currency pairs following U.S President Donald Trump\u2019s tweet on trade war driving sellers back to the market. According to reports, U.S President Donald Trump tweeted in his Twitter on Thursday that U.S is imposing another 10% tariff on another $300 billion worth of Chinese goods starting 1st<\/sup> September. As both economic powerhouses just wrapped up a round of trade talk this week, the news has escalated tension between U.S and China following failures to reach a trade truce. At the same time, U.S manufacturing sector expanded in July at its slowest pace in almost three years, with the reading of 51.2, lower than market expectation of 52.00, according to the Institute for Supply Management’s purchasing manager index (PMI). The data have since added further pressure for the greenback. Investors are now focused on today closely-watched jobs report to gauge further momentum. On the other hand, pound sterling continue to drive lower after BoE event. BoE have maintained its rate unchanged at 0.75% on Thursday. However, it has downsized and reduced its growth forecast and delivered a rather dovish note, stating that underlying growth has slowed below its potential rate. At the same time, no-deal Brexit fear continue weigh on the pound, thus limiting the potential rebound for the pound sterling. Dollar index fell 0.09% to 98.04 while GBP\/USD also slips 0.07% to 1.2117 at the time of writing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As for commodities, crude oil price plunged 0.20% to $54.11 per barrel at the time of writing despite declining supply. According to reports from Bloomberg, Libya\u2019s oil production fell to a five-month low of 950,000 bpd. The sudden drop was due another \u201cvalve closure halting crude oil supply\u201d from the Sharara oil field to the port. However, the positive data was unable to lift up market spirit following the negative developments of trade talk which could hugely affect the demand of the commodity, thus disappoint market investors and causing a major sell-off. Next, gold price skyrocketed 0.20% to $1441.95 a troy ounce as of writing following a weaker dollar due to trade war concerns.<\/p>\n
