Yesterday, UK lawmakers vote in principal for a Brexit deal but rejected against UK PM Boris Johnson\u2019s timetable to pass a Brexit deal within three days. The rejection forces Johnson to threaten for a general election before Christmas if an extension is being approved by EU27. Last week, UK has formally requested for an extension of 31<sup>st<\/sup> October Brexit deadline but EU27 has yet to offer any answers as of now. Citing three senior EU diplomats, Reuters reported that EU may deliver their final decision this Friday and it will most likely be a three-months delay until end of January 2020. As of writing, pair of GBP\/USD was traded flat near 1.2915. In the US region, greenback continues to remain under pressure as recent release of earning reports spur higher concerns of diminishing economic momentum and further rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. According to Fed Rate Monitor Tool, the probability for a 25-basis point cut during month end policy meeting has jumped from 93.0% to 94.1% as of writing. During Asian trading session, the dollar index was quoted down 0.06% to 97.17.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the commodities market, crude oil price slumped 0.31% to $55.58 per barrel. Oil futures remained under pressure as recent earning reports from the US shows lower-than-expected results which spur higher concern for an economic recession. Recession may in return led to lower economic activity that would translate to lower demand for the commodity in the future. On the other hand, gold price rose 0.04% to $1,492.53 a troy ounce due to weaker greenback.<\/p>\n<p><u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Holiday Market Close<\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>Time\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Market\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Event<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>N\/A<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Highlight Events<\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>Time\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Market\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Event<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>20:30\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 EUR\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 ECB Press Conference<\/p>\n<p><u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n<p><u><br \/>\n<\/u><\/p>\n<p><u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Highlight Economic Data<\/u><\/p>\n<table width=\"105%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"11%\"><strong>Time<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"53%\"><strong>Nation &amp; Data<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"13%\"><strong>Previous<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"10%\"><strong>Forecast<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"10%\"><strong>Actual<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"11%\">15:30<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"53%\">EUR \u2013 German Manufacturing PMI (Oct)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"13%\">41.7<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"10%\">42.0<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"10%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"11%\">19:45<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"53%\">EUR \u2013 ECB Interest Rate Decision (Oct)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"13%\">0.00%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"10%\">0.00%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"10%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"11%\">20:30<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"53%\">USD \u2013 Core Durable Goods Orders (MoM) (Sep)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"13%\">0.5%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"10%\">-0.2%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"10%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"11%\">20:30<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"53%\">USD \u2013 Initial Jobless Claims<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"13%\">214K<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"10%\">216K<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"10%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"11%\">22:00<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"53%\">USD \u2013 New Home Sales (Sep)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"13%\">713K<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"10%\">710K<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"10%\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong><u>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Technical Analysis<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-84721\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gcmasia.co\/analysis\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/241019-DOLLARINDX.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>DOLLAR_INDX, H1: <\/strong>Dollar index was traded higher following prior rebound from the lower level.
