DOLLAR: Having based around the 100-dma on Wednesday, post Fed minutes lifted

the USD overnight with the DXY continuing its recent uptrend to 95.71. Near-term

resistance is seen at 95.82 which represents the 76.4% retracement of

96.14-94.78, a break here can look to challenge down trendline resistance off

the Aug 15 high at 96.03, ahead of the double-top resistance area at 96.10/15.

The US 10y holds above the 3.20% level, while gold has consolidated in a narrow

$3 range, last $1222.91. Bulls need a close above the 100-dma at $1225.94,

before challenging the Oct 15 high at $1233.31. Option-expiries of note today.

EURUSD $1.1450($1.25bn), $1.1500 ($1.24bn), $1.1550(E1.3bn). USDJPY
