DJ-FXCM Dollar Index | 10416.31 | 10421.32 | 10403.68 | 0.06 | 63.73% |
US DOLLAR
- Dow Jones-FXCM U.S. Dollar Index at risk for larger correction as price & RSI fail to maintain bearish trend.
- With the broader downward trending channel still in play, downside targets remain favorable, while former support around 10,440 (78.6% retracement) may offer near-term resistance.
- The Humphrey-Hawkins Testimony with Fed Chair Janet Yellen presents the largest event risk for the US DOLLAR; will we get more of the same?
GBP/USD
- Will continue to look for closing prices above the 1.7100 handle as 1.7060-70 (23.6% retracement) offers intraday support.
- U.K. Consumer Price Index (CPI) may limit the correction as headline reading for inflation is expected to increase an annualized 1.6% in June.
- Topside targets remain favorable as price & RSI preserve bullish formations from earlier this year.
AUD/USD
- May fail to preserve ascending channel formation should the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Minutes highlight recent comments from Governor Glenn Stevens.
- Near-term support still stands at 0.9330-40; need break and close below to see a move back towards the 0.9200 handle.
- China 2Q Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will also be a key event risk to watch as the growth rate is expected to expand 1.8% versus 1.4% during the first three-months of 2014.
