USD steadies after sharp CPI-driven losses. Shaun Osborne, Chief FX Strategist at Scotiabank, analyzes Greenback’s outlook.

More losses seem likely in the near-to-medium term

The sharp slide in the USD overall on Tuesday adds to the growing body of evidence from price action that the H2 USD rally is reversing. A good chunk of that gain has already been taken back but more losses seem likely to me in the near-to-medium term.

Fundamentals are less favourable for the USD and short, medium and longer-term price signals are leaning USD-bearish now.

A weak close for the DXY through November will seal a long-term (monthly) reversal signal on the charts.

Markets have been in ‘buy USD dip’ mode since mid-year; that will transition to ‘sell USD rallies’ from here.

EUR/USD is coming under heavy selling pressure, hovering around the 1.1700 region in the latter part of the NA session on Monday.

GBP/USD hits new yearly lows near 1.3300

GBP/USD adds to the recent bearish tone, approaching to the key 1.3300 support to reach fresh YTD troughs against the backdrop of the robust performance of the US Dollar. Indeed, Cable’s decline comes amid the firm demand for the safe-haven space in the wake of the US and Israel attacks to Iran.

Gold eases some ground, approaches $5,300

Gold now surrenders part of the earlier advance, reshifting its attenton to the $5,300 zone per troy ounce at the beginning of the week. Indeed, the yellow metal’s firm performance appears propped up by incresing geopolitical jitters in the Middle East, which at the same time fuels the demand for the safe-haven space.
