NZD\/USD slump due to poor domestic data.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

NZD\/USD slump after a poor result of New Zealand Westpac Consumer Survey was released. The Westpac Consumer survey measures the change in the level of consumer confidence in economic activity.\u00a0 According to Westpac Banking Corporation, the Westpac Consumer Survey for the third quarter has dropped below the forecast 104.0 and 103.5 prior to 103.1. In fact, Westpac claimed that households are still reluctant to spend despite the fall in interest rates in recent months, due to high global market and political risks. Moreover, New Zealand\u2019s seasonally adjusted current account deficit narrowed by $140 million to $2.4 billion in the June 2019 quarter. However, the reading was still poorer than the market expectation, according to Statistic New Zealand. These poor results cause the NZD\/USD to suffer from further depreciation. On the other hand, Loonie depreciated as the Canadian manufacturing sales fell unexpectedly to -1.3% in July compared to a revised fall of -1.4% in the prior month. According to Statistic Canada, the manufacturing Sales fell -1.3% more than the market expectation of -0.3%, due to auto and metal plant shutdowns. Meanwhile, oil prices fall after Saudi Arabia claimed the oil production could be restored to normal levels faster than thought, which further weighed on the loonie, says Reuters. As of writing, NZD\/USD depreciated by 0.19% to 0.6342 while USD\/CAD surged 0.07% to 1.3245.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil price dropped sharply on Tuesday after Saudi Energy Minister Abdulaziz bin Salman said the country\u2019s oil exports would not fall in the end of this month, as they will rely on reserves oil to keep export stable. On the other hand, gold price rose as a result of risk aversion due to rising geopolitical tensions. As of writing, the crude oil rose 0.43% to $58.83 per barrels while gold price surged 0.05% to $1501.95.<\/p>\n
