DXY comes under some selling pressure following new YTD highs.
Extra upside continues to target the 200-day SMA.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

DXY gives away part of recent gains to the vicinity of the 106.00 mark, or new 2023 peaks.

The continuation of the rebound in the dollar seems like for the time being. The breakout of the round level at 106.00 should put the index en route to a probable test of the key 200-day SMA, today at 106.60.

A convincing move beyond the latter should shift the outlook to constructive in the short-term horizon and allow for the continuation of the uptrend.

Gold advances to over three-month high as bulls look to reclaim $4,700

Gold climbs to a fresh high since mid-May, with bulls now eyeing $4,700 and extending the rally witnessed since the beginning of this month. The US Treasury's bond market intervention failure fuels concerns about fiscal sustainability and boosts demand for bullion as an alternative store of value.

$20 billion offered, $2 billion taken: Why Treasury doubled its buyback cap

The US Treasury moved off its own calendar on Wednesday, and that is the part worth sitting with. At 12:32 GMT, the department said it would at least double the size of liquidity support buyback operations in the 10-year to 20-year and 20-year to 30-year sectors, lifting the maximum from $2 billion per operation to at least $4 billion, effective September 9 and running to November 4.
