US Dollar looks to data, FOMC
The index is prolonging the upbeat momentum so far this week, eyeing a test of the critical barrier at 94.00 the figure amidst a renewed sentiment towards the greenback.
The ongoing uptick has been on the back of choppy activity in yields of the key US 10-year reference, which are coming down to test the 2.96% level after advancing to weekly highs around 2.98% earlier in the week.
Later in the NA session, Producer Prices for the month of May are due ahead of the key FOMC meeting, where market participants have already anticipated a 25 bp rate hike. Additionally, the updated version of the ‘dots-plot’ will also be in centre stage.
