US Dollar Index Price Analysis: Extra losses in the pipeline

DXY breaks below the 8-month support line.
The dollar clinches new 2020 lows around 91.55.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

The downside momentum in DXY has accelerated as of late following the breakdown of a Fibo level in the 91.90 region and the 8-month support line near 91.80.

Therefore, the continuation of the downtrend is a palpable possibility with the next level of relevance at the April 2018 lows near 89.20.

Occasional bullish attempts need to surpass the 93.20 level (November 11) to mitigate the downside pressure somewhat. However, as long as DXY trades below the 200-day SMA, today at 95.98, the offered stance is forecast to persist.

GBP/USD stays slightly offered below 1.3600

Following an initial drop to fresh six-day lows, GBP/USD now picks up some updside traction and trades in levels just shy of the 1.3600 barrier on Thursday. The generalised cautious tone among market participants continue to underpin the Greenback ahead of Friday’s data releases and the Fed Warsh’s speech.

EUR/USD struggles for direction around 1.1650

EUR/USD gyrates around the 1.1650 region amid the absence of clear direction and following an earlier drop to the 1.630 area. The pair’s vacillating mood comes in response to the equally irresolute price action in the US Dollar as investors warm up for the release of the NFP Annual Revision and the speech by the Fed’s Warsh at the Jackson Hole Symposium, both events due on Friday.

Gold recovers $4,600, buyers unwilling to give up

Gold adds to Wednesday’s pullback, although it manages to pick up some pace and come closer to the $4,600 mark per troy ounce on Thursday. In the meantime, the yellow metal remains on the back foot despite the widespread caution and the lack of clear direction of the US Dollar.

Ripple rebounds as whales accumulate 460 million XRP

Ripple (XRP) holds above $1.40 support on Wednesday, as bulls return to take control following three consecutive days of declines. The remittance token’s upside appears capped at $1.50 while extended gains would face additional resistance at $1.70. A break above $2.00 would mark a potential regime shift from bearish to bullish.

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight

The Oil market may look calmer than it did a few months ago, but diesel is sending a very different message. The US diesel crack spread, the premium of ultra-low sulphur diesel futures over WTI, recently surged above $100 per barrel for the first time, reaching an intraday record of just over $102.00.

Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole dilemma: Say too much, too little, or just enough

Kevin Warsh is preparing to deliver his first Jackson Hole speech as Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair on Friday, and expectations extend well beyond whether interest rates will be raised or left unchanged in September.
