USD Index Price Analysis: Further range bound ahead of potential losses?

DXY navigates within the recent side-lined trading below 102.00.
Further losses could put the 2023 low back on the radar.

DXY extends the move higher and revisits the mid-101.00s following an earlier failed attempt to retake the 102.00 yardstick on Monday.

The recent choppy performance in the index seems to have now refocused back on the downside. Against that, DXY could cling to this consolidative theme ahead of a probable drop to the so far 2023 lows near 100.80 (April 14) ahead of the psychological support at the 100.00 mark.

Looking at the broader picture, while below the 200-day SMA, today at 106.18, the outlook for the index is expected to remain negative.

EUR/USD alternates gains with losses near 1.1540

Gold trades above $4,350; looks to US CPI for fresh impetus

Gold ticks higher during the Asian session on Wednesday, stalling the previous day's retracement slide from a two-month high. The lack of any meaningful US Dollar buying ahead of the crucial US CPI report acts as a tailwind for the bullion. Meanwhile, oil-driven inflation fears keep bets for at least one Fed rate hike in 2026 firmly on the table and might keep a lid on any meaningful upside for the non-yielding yellow metal.

911 million shares freed: Why SpaceX rallied into its own supply

9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
