- The rise in Covid uncertainty, political instability in some EM markets and the hawkish Fed had supported the US Dollar in H2 2021; DXY index reached a high at 97 in the end of November before consolidating slightly lower in recent weeks.
- However, investors’ concern over growth expectations has been rising in the past two weeks and the recent selloff in risky assets has been supporting the greenback.
- DXY index has been rising up sharply against major crosses, reaching a local high at 97.44 on Friday before consolidating lower on Monday (towards 97 level).
- Next resistance to watch on the topside stands at 97.7190, which corresponds to the 61.8% Fibo retracement of the 89.21 – 102.98 range.
