USD Index Price Analysis: Further weakness targets 101.30

The index comes under pressure and revisits the 101.60 area.
A deeper decline should target the May 2022 low near 101.30.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

DXY kicks in the week in an offered stance and rebounds from earlier lows in the 101.60/55 band on Monday.

The index seems to be gradually losing ground amidst the broader bearish outlook for the greenback. In case bears push harder, the loss of the so far 2023 low at 101.52 (January 18) could trigger a potential deeper drop to the May 2022 low around 101.30 (May 30) prior to the psychological 100.00 level.

In the meantime, while below the 200-day SMA at 106.45 the outlook for the index should remain tilted to the negative side.

Gold: The $4,000 mark holds the downside for now

Warsh needs to restore his reputation

We were glad to see our deeply negative reaction to the Warsh press conference was not some personal peculiarity. Just about everybody in the financial press felt the same way. The consensus is building it’s not the Fed in the dog-house but only Warsh. Today the WSJ changed it tune and blasted Warsh—"the honeymoon is already over..”

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.
