DOLLAR
DOLLAR: DXY has added a dozen pips thus far and last trades at 97.43 after
falling 36 pips Friday, as industrial output figures from France and Italy
topped exp. before a soft headline NFP print from the U.S. applied pressure to
the dollar index.
- Fed Chair Powell spoke after hours Friday, as well as in today's Asia-Pacific
session, but offered little new re: MonPol. Powell is set to speak again in the
NY/Asia crossover on Monday.
- WTI trades ~$0.20 higher at writing, with gold trading ~$1.90 lower.
- The initial bullish target is provided by 97.64, where the index peaked on
Friday. A break above would open up the upper 1.0% 10-DMA envelope at 97.73. On
the downside, initial attention is drawn to 97.25, where the index bottomed on
Friday, and a fall through that leve would bring the 21-DMA at 96.75 into view.
- Besides remarks from Powell, U.S. focus today turns to domestic retail sales.
