USD Index Price Analysis: Extra losses in the pipeline

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

- DXY keeps the negative performance in the low-103.00s.

- Next on the downside emerges the weekly low of 102.93.

DXY extends the leg lower for the fourth session in a row on turnaround Tuesday.

Further weakness in the index is expected to challenge the key support at 103.00 sooner rather than later. The loss of this region exposes the weekly low of 102.93 (August 30) ahead of another round level at 102.00.

In the meantime, while below the key 200-day SMA (103.60), the outlook for the index is expected to remain bearish.

AUD/USD falls from 0.7050 amid Iran uncertainty

AUD/USD is back in the red, falling from 0.7050 in the Asian session on Friday, reversing the previous day's goodish rebound from a nearly two-month low amid a modest US Dollar uptick. Iran downplayed Trump's claim that a deal has been approved and said that key issues, including the Strait of Hormuz and frozen funds, remain unresolved. This keeps a lid on optimism, which, along with Fed rate-hike bets, revives USD demand and weighs on the pair.

USD/JPY recovers above 160.00 as Mideast woes persist ahead of BoJ

USD/JPY recovers ground above 160.00 in the Asian session on Friday. Economic risks due to uncertainty in the Middle East undermine the Japanese Yen, while lifting the safe-haven US Dollar (USD) amid the US-Iran standoff. This acts as a tailwind for the pair, though fears of intervention could limit deeper JPY losses and cap the pair's rebound ahead of the BoJ meeting next week.

Gold: Downside risks remain intact amid a Bear Cross

Gold returns to the red in Asia on Friday, following a temporary short-covering rally above $4,200 seen a day ago. The bright metal is set to book a second consecutive weekly loss, having tested the year-to-date lows near the $4,000 threshold earlier in the week.
