USD Index Price Analysis: Further gains in store near term

DXY comes under pressure and revisits the 105.00 zone.

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 steadies following the previous day's volatile two-way price swings and trades just below $4,050 during the Asian session on Thursday as traders now look to the crucial US NFP report for fresh impetus. In the meantime, Wednesday's US economic data kept Fed rate-hike expectations elevated and continues to act as a tailwind for the US Dollar.
