At the end of the Asian market on Wednesday (November 15), data released by the US Department of Labor showed that the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) fell to 3.2% year-on-year in October from 3.7% last month, lower than the market's expected 3.3%. The month on month decrease from 0.4% last month to flat, the smallest increase since July 2022. Meanwhile, the core CPI excluding food and energy decreased from 4.1% last month to 4.0% year-on-year, lower than the market's previously expected 4.1%. The month on month increase was 0.2%, lower than the expected 0.3%, and also the smallest increase since July this year. After the data was released, the US dollar index plummeted, and the market expected the Fed's current rate hike to end. At the opening of the Asian market today, the US dollar index slightly adjusted, with the current price around 104.13. Affected by yesterday's CPI data released by the US, gold rose significantly during the day. However, based on yesterday's gains, investors' demand for gold is weakening due to reduced attention to the conflict between Pakistan and Israel. Gold rose slightly at the opening of the Asian market today, with the current price around 1967.57. The market volatility of crude oil yesterday was relatively low compared to other commodities, mainly because the EIA will release crude oil inventory data later today, and it is still two copies. Due to investors' concerns that EIA data may cause significant fluctuations in the market, they are still relatively cautious before the data is released. Today, during the Asian market, US crude oil quickly rebounded after breaking below the previous day's low, with the current price around 78.53. EURUSD was significantly boosted by US data yesterday and broke through multiple resistance levels in a row. The final price closed near the intraday high. Today, EURUSD slightly adjusted in the Asian market and is currently quoted around 1.0875. Earlier today, the Japanese Cabinet Office announced that Japan's gross domestic product (GDP) for the third quarter had an annualized rate of -2.1%, a contraction far higher than economists' forecast of -0.4%, and a growth of 4.8% in the second quarter. The main reasons for economic contraction are a decrease in corporate spending and an increase in imports. USDJPY was affected by US data yesterday, and the yen has been near the government's policy red line, causing a significant decline in the day. At the opening of the Asian market today, USDJPY corrected and sorted, with the current quotation around 150.63.
