US Dollar Index Technical Analysis: Further downside now looks to the 100-day SMA at 96.94

The selling pressure around the greenback stays unabated so far this week and has forced DXY to challenge the critical support at 97.00 the figure, exposing further pullbacks.
Next on the way down emerges the 100-day SMA at 96.94. This should hold the initial test ahead of April’s low at 96.75.
Looking at the broader picture, the positive outlook on the buck remains intact while above the key 200-day SMA at 96.45 and the 8-month support line at 96.48.

EUR/USD keeps the offered stance just above 1.1700

EUR/USD is coming under heavy selling pressure in what has been a rather grim start to the new trading week, with the pair now trading close to the 1.1700 support area as the US Dollar stages a solid rebound. The prevailing flight to safety mood continues to favour the Greenback, as investors react to the escalating conflict in the Middle East and trim risk exposure across the board.

GBP/USD hits new yearly lows near 1.3300

GBP/USD adds to the recent bearish tone, approaching to the key 1.3300 support to reach fresh YTD troughs against the backdrop of the robust performance of the US Dollar. Indeed, Cable’s decline comes amid the firm demand for the safe-haven space in the wake of the US and Israel attacks to Iran.

Gold trims losses, back below $5,400

Gold now surrenders part of the earlier advance past the $5,400 mark per troy ounce at the beginning of the week. Indeed, the precious metal’s strong uptick remains fuelled by increasing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East amid the intense demand for safer assets.
