DXY pushes higher and records new 2022 peaks past the 99.00 yardstick on Monday.

In light of recent price action, further gains remain likely in the very near term at least. That said, the next hurdle aligns at the 99.97 level (May 25 2020 high) closely followed by the psychological 100.00 mark.

The short-term bullish stance remains supported by the 5-month line, today near 95.70, while the longer-term outlook for the dollar is seen as constructive above the 200-day SMA at 94.12.

GBP/USD drops to multi-week lows below 1.3300

GBP/USD sets aside Friday’s uptick and breaches below the 1.3300 yardstcik on Monday to hit new multi-week troughs. Falling crude oil prices following a pause in the Middle East conflict in combination with the recent soft reading in UK inflation appear to play against any BoE tightening ahead of the bank’s event later in the week.

Gold eyes $4,050 on bullish USD as traders look to FOMC policy meeting

Gold slides back closer to $4,050 during the Asian session on Tuesday amid a bullish US Dollar. The downside seems limited as traders might opt to wait for the outcome of a two-day FOMC policy meeting on Wednesday. Furthermore, a pause in US-Iran hostilities led to a slump in crude oil prices, easing inflationary concerns and tempering bets for Fed rate hikes. This holds back the USD bulls from placing aggressive bets and should act as a tailwind for the non-yielding bullion.

Neither Hormuz nor Oil at $120: Why Japanese bond yields are the real market threat

While geopolitical headlines continually send traders rushing to the Oil charts, history shows that the biggest market moves often begin when liquidity disappears, not when crude spikes. Rising bond yields, particularly in Japan and Switzerland, threaten to trigger the unwinding of one of the largest leveraged trades in financial history.

US Dollar mid-year outlook: Exceptional currency, exceptional risks?

The US Dollar enters the second half of 2026 in a markedly different position from a year ago. The King currency has recovered, reflecting persistent US inflation, changing expectations for Fed policy, geopolitical tensions and renewed demand for defensive assets.
