US Dollar Index Price Analysis: Downside pressure alleviated above 91.94

There is an interim hurdle at the 50-day SMA near 91.75.

The bullish attempt in DXY seems to have met some decent hurdle around the 91.50 region this month so far.

Further recovery should not be ruled out in the near-term, with the interim resistance at the 50-day SMA near 91.75. If cleared, then a move to the more relevant 200-day SMA (91.94) could emerge on the horizon.

Above the latter the downside pressure is expected to mitigate somewhat, and the outlook could start shifting to a more constructive one.

The EUR/USD pair struggles to capitalize on the previous day's goodish rebound from the 1.1800 neighborhood, or a one-and-a-half-week low, and consolidates in a narrow band during the Asian session on Wednesday. Spot prices currently trade just below mid-1.1800s, nearly unchanged for the day.

Gold regains positive traction after Tuesday's over 2% slump as traders await FOMC Minutes

Gold gains some positive traction during the Asian session on Wednesday and recovers a part of the previous day's heavy losses more than 2%, to the $4,843-4,842 region or a nearly two-week low. The intraday move higher could be attributed to repositioning trade ahead of the release of the FOMC Minutes.
