US Dollar Index Price Analysis: Looks neutral/bearish near-term

DXY extends the consolidative mood around 90.00.
Further south of this level comes in the 2021 lows at 89.20.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

DXY keeps the rangebound trading in the 90.00 region, always supported by the key 2020-2021 support line (near 89.80).

While further consolidation around this area is not ruled out, the psychological support at 90.00 emerges as a crucial barrier for USD-sellers. A breakdown of this zone should open the door to a probable move to the 2021 lows around 89.20 (January 6) ahead of the March 2018 low at 88.94.

In the meantime, occasional bouts of upside pressure in the index are deemed as corrective only amidst the broader bearish view on the dollar. That said, bullish attempts to the 91.00 hurdle and beyond could represent selling opportunities against the current backdrop.

In the longer run, as long as DXY trades below the 200-day SMA (93.21), the negative stance is expected to persist.

160.80: Japanese Yen remains close to nearly two-year lows

USD/JPY inches lower after four days of gains, trading around 160.60 during the Asian hours. The USD/JPY pair surged to 160.80 the previous day, marking its highest level since July 2024 and significantly heightening speculation that Japanese authorities could soon intervene to support the struggling Yen.

AUD/USD eyes 0.7050 on weaker USD; 100-day SMA holds the key for bulls

The AUD/USD pair regains positive traction during the Asian session, reversing part of the previous day's slide to sub-0.7000 levels, or the weekly low. Spot prices currently trade around the 0.7040 region, up nearly 0.40% for the day, amid a broadly weaker US Dollar.

Gold stays firm near $4,300 as Iran peace deal offsets hawkish Fed

Gold clings to its modest intraday gains in the European session on Thursday and hangs close to the $4,300 mark amid a broadly weaker US Dollar (USD). The optimism over a US-Iran peace deal prompts USD profit-taking and supports the bullion. The Fed’s hawkish tilt could limit USD losses, capping the commodity.

Bitcoin slips below $64,000 as hawkish Fed stance weighs on risk appetite

Bitcoin remains under pressure, extending its correction, trading below $64,000. The US Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged but struck a hawkish tone on Wednesday, dampening the risk sentiment.

Bank Indonesia increases rates by 25 basis points in June: Will it defend the Rupiah?

Bank Indonesia decided to hike the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 5.75% on June 18, from the previous 5.5%. The decision aligned with the market expectations. The Indonesian Rupiah receives support against the US Dollar as an immediate reaction to the BI interest rate decision. The USD/IDR is trading around 17,820.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
