Pablo Piovano FXStreet

DXY sees its recent strong upside somewhat trimmed and recedes to the 105.00 neighbourhood at the end of the week.

The continuation of the multi-week rally is now expected to shift its attention to the 2023 high of 105.88 (March 8) prior to the round level at 106.00.

While above the key 200-day SMA, today at 103.03, the outlook for the index is expected to remain constructive.

Gold extends its rebound, climbing for a third consecutive session and pushing back above the $5,200 mark per troy ounce on Friday.
