USD Index Price Analysis: Further upside looks likely

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.

GBP/USD holds gains above 1.3150, US PCE inflation data looms

The GBP/USD pair recovers some lost ground to near 1.3175 during the Asian trading hours on Thursday. However, the potential upside for the major pair might be limited amid UK political instability and rising expectations of US interest rate hikes this year. Traders await the US May Personal Consumption Expenditures inflation data on Thursday for fresh impetus.

EUR/USD softens to near 1.1350 as Fed hike bets rise ahead of PCE inflation data

The EUR/USD pair declines to around 1.1355 during the early Asian trading hours on Thursday. The Euro weakens to its lowest level since June 2025 against the US Dollar as traders increase their bets on US interest rate hikes later this year. The US May Personal Consumption Expenditures inflation data will be the highlight on Thursday.

Gold: Impending Death Cross hints at more downside

Gold is heading back toward seven-month lows near $3,950 early Thursday. The US Dollar enters bullish consolidation amid Fed rate hike bets, conflicting US-Iran messages. Gold could see further declines as RSI flirts with oversold territory, eyes on impending Death Cross.

Bitcoin tests $60,000 as whales sell off – Aave and Jupiter show resilience

The broader cryptocurrency market remains under intense selling pressure, with Bitcoin back at $60,000 for the third time this year. On-chain data shows selling pressure from large-wallet investors, commonly referred to as whales, while total liquidations hit nearly $1 billion in 24 hours.

5.90% to 5.45%: Why the Pound ignored the bond market’s relief rally

Keir Starmer resigned on Monday, and the Pound barely moved. That near-silence is the tell. Sterling's real driver these past four months has not been the prime minister, nor the left-leaning frontrunner lining up to replace him, but the long end of the gilt curve, which answers to a force no British politician controls.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
