Pablo Piovano FXStreet

DXY leaves behind the pessimism seen in the first half of the week and revisits the low-106.00s on Wednesday.

In case the bullish impulse accelerates, the surpass of the weekly high of 106.78 (October 12) could encourage the index to embark on a potential test of the 2023 top of 107.34 (October 3) in the short-term horizon.

In the meantime, while above the key 200-day SMA, today at 103.25, the outlook for the index is expected to remain constructive.

EUR/USD is still under pressure, drifting back towards the 1.1850 area as Monday’s session draws to a close.

Gold sticks to a negative bias below $5,000; lacks bearish conviction

Gold remains depressed for the second consecutive day and trades below the $5,000 psychological mark during the Asian session on Tuesday, as a positive risk tone is seen undermining safe-haven assets.
