The holiday mood did not lift market sentiment. Extreme cold weather in the US has proved fatal in certain regions. Although the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased 37 points (+0.11%) to 33,241, the S&P 500 declined 15 points (-0.41%) to 3,829, and the Nasdaq 100 plunged 162 points (-1.48%) to 10,822.

While increasing infection rates in China have slowed WTI oil futures to close with minimal gains at $79.53 a barrel. Spot gold rose to a six-month high of $1,829.66 an ounce, then traded at $1,813.65. Bitcoin recovered from 16,650 to 16,754.0.

On the other hand, the greenback had varied performances against other major currencies. The Euro and AUD traded slightly higher towards the US dollar, closing at 1.0638 and 0.6729 respectively. Multiple strikes in the UK sent GBP/USD down over 30 pips to 1.2021.

USD/CAD declined more than 60 pips to 1.3522, and USD/JPY climbed 63 pips to 133.48.
