US Dollar Index Price Analysis: Corrective decline could reach 90.00

The upside in DXY lost momentum below the 91.00 yardstick.
The ongoing leg lower could extend to the 90.00 neighbourhood.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

DXY met a tough resistance in the area just below 91.00 the figure earlier in the week, sparking the current knee-jerk afterwards.

The continuation of this pullback carries the potential to revisit the area of weekly lows around the key 90.00 support in the short-term horizon.

In the meantime, and looking at the broader scenario, while below the 200-day SMA, today at 91.85, the outlook for the buck is forecast to remain negative.

USD/JPY stays below 160.50 as markets assess BoJ decision

USD/JPY fluctuates in a relatively narrow range above 160.00 on Tuesday as markets assess the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) decision to raise the policy rate by 25 at the June meeting. Meanwhile, investors keep a close eye on news coming out of the Middle East, while preparing for the critical Fed meeting.

AUD/USD struggles for direction, still below 0.7100

AUD/USD looks to extend Monday’s recovery, although a challenge to the 0.7100 barrier remains elusive ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The Aussie Dollar was unable to take advantage of the RBA's relatively cautious message, which included keeping its OCR unchanged at 4.35% and leaving the possibility of further tightening in the future.

Gold: $4,000 or $4,500? The Fed may decide Gold’s next big move

Gold now surrenders part of its initial advance and recedes to the vicinity of the $4,350 mark per troy ounce on Tuesday. The early enthusiasm sparked by the US-Iran peace deal has faded somewhat, prompting investors to adopt a more prudent stance as they await further details of the agreement and key guidance from the Fed.

XRP pulls back as subdued ETF inflows, layered resistance cap upside

Ripple (XRP) remains elevated above $1.23 at the time of writing on Tuesday, struggling amid a capped upside. Despite an improved overall market sentiment driven by news of a peace agreement between the United States and Iran to end the war in the Middle East, capital inflows remain notably subdued.

1% rate, 160 Yen: Why Japan’s historic hike changed little

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) pushed its short-term policy rate to 1% on Tuesday, the highest setting since 1995 and a 31-year milestone in a normalization cycle barely two years old. It is the kind of number that should mark a turning point for the Yen, and it did almost nothing.

Why a hawkish RBA is no longer enough to lift the Australian Dollar

The Reserve Bank of Australia delivered more than what markets expected: a hawkish hold that should have supported the Aussie. But markets widely ignored it, focusing instead on slowing economic growth and proving that central bank messaging alone isn’t always enough to drive currencies.
