DXY managed to rebound from the area below the 93.00 yardstick on Thursday, or fresh weekly lows. The bullish attempt, however, lost traction in the 93.40/45 band.

Solid resistance is located in the 94.00 region so far and the inability of the index to surpass this area – ideally in the short-term – should open the door to the resumption of the bearish trend.

The offered stance in the dollar is expected to remain unchanged while below the 200-day SMA, today at 97.80.

As more than one analyst points out, the case for holding rates the same is strengthened by the Iran deal and the prospect of the Strait re-opening, although nobody thinks Warsh can marshal enough doves to do a cut this time.

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.
