Greenback Picking Up Momentum, DXY Extends Further Above 1.0700

USD
  • The dollar index has made fresh three-week highs on Thursday, and is extending further above 1.07 in recent trade as major equity benchmarks slip back into the red.
  • Notable declines in EUR and GBP as price action has gained momentum following the breaks of short-term supports at 1.0123 and 1.2004 respectively. Both pairs are now roughly 0.75% lower on the day, extending their declines from last Friday's close.
  • Despite the move lower in US yields, greenback strength filtering through to USDJPY, with a close eye on noted resistance at 1.3550/58. Through here would target 135.96, a Fibonacci retracement.
  • No US data for the rest of the week should keep any FedSpeak and geopolitical developments in focus.
