Safe-haven thrives as tension escalates.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Market participants remains fixated upon safe-haven assets such as Japanese Yen and Swiss Franc following heightened tensions in between US and China. On yesterday, the US Treasury Department announced officially to label China as a currency manipulator after People\u2019s Bank of China allowed the Chinese yuan to fall below RMB7 per dollar in retaliation against new US tariffs. The department commented that China has violated its commitment to refrain from competitive devaluation of currency as a part of Group of 20 industrialized countries. In addition, Beijing announced that it will stop purchasing US agricultural products, inflaming the current trade tension with the United States. Such retaliation came after US President Donald Trump announced to impose an additional of 10% tariffs upon $300 billion Chinese imports starting from 1st<\/sup> September. The news has raised higher risk aversion in the market with traders pouring into safe-haven in order to safeguard their capital from further losses. As of writing, USD\/JPY fell 0.27% to 105.67 while USD\/CHF tumbles by 0.16% to 0.9718. On the other hand, greenback suffered from an extensive selloff over the backdrop of bearish economic data. For the month of July, ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI came in at 53.7, missing economist forecast for a rise to 55.5. Services industry is one of the major drivers for the US economy and its contraction has sent bearish sentiment across the market. The dollar index was quoted down 0.70% to 97.24.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil price fell 1.37% to $54.12 per barrel. Oil futures received tremendous selling pressure following rising tension in between US and China that could jeopardize future economic growth and its demand towards crude oil. On the other hand, gold price rose 0.57% to $1,472.28 a troy ounce due to higher risk aversion in the market.<\/p>\n
