Greenback slumps following further escalation on Middle East tension.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dollar index which measured against a basket of six major currency pairs have slipped during early Asian session as tension between U.S and Iran continue to dominate the headlines. According to the latest reports, U.S have denied entry to Iran\u2019s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who was to speak at the United Nation\u2019s (UN) Security Council about the US assassination of Qassem SuleimaniIra. Besides that, news of U.S troops aren\u2019t going to leave Iraq also provide further concern for the market. US Defence Secretary Mark T. Esper have confirmed with the Washington Post that the U.S has not made any decision to leave Iraq. In addition, U.S diplomat also mentioned that the military would \u201cfollow the laws of armed conflict\u201d if needs to strike Iranian cultural sites. Market are currently concerned that the escalating tension will turned into a full blown war between nations, thus the ongoing headlines continue to grasp market sentiment. As of writing, dollar index fell 0.23% to 96.25.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil price slightly jumped 0.10% to $62.95 per barrel at the time of writing as Washington and Tehran continue to exchange strike threats. As Iran is among one of the largest oil producers in the Middle East, which accounts for 40% of the world\u2019s crude supply, market are expecting a tighter supply in the Middle East and feared that a breakout of war will seriously hamper movement of crude from the region to global market. On the other hand, gold price climbs 0.15% to $1564.30 a troy ounce as of writing following the events of U.S and Iran continue to provide support for the demand.<\/p>\n
