DXY trades in an inconclusive fashion around the 106.20-106.30 band at the end of the week.

It seems the index has moved into a consolidative phase for the time being. Occasional bullish attempts, in the meantime, continue to target the weekly high of 106.78 (October 12) prior to the 2023 top of 107.34 (October 3). On the downside, the monthly low of 105.53 (October 12) is expected to hold the downside.

So far, while above the key 200-day SMA, today at 103.29, the outlook for the index is expected to remain constructive.

EUR/USD turns negative near 1.1850

EUR/USD has given up its earlier intraday gains on Thursday and is now struggling to hold above the 1.1850 area. The US Dollar is finding renewed support from a pick-up in risk aversion, while fresh market chatter suggesting Russia could be considering a return to the US Dollar system is also lending the Greenback an extra boost.

GBP/USD change course, nears 1.3600

GBP/USD gives away its daily gains and recedes toward the low-1.3600s on Thursday. Indeed, Cable now struggles to regain some upside traction on the back of the sudden bout of buying interest in the Greenback. In the meantime, investors continue to assess a string of underwhelming UK data releases released earlier in the day.
