USD Index looks at data, Powell

The index navigates in the lower end of the monthly range near the 102.00 neighbourhood following Wednesday’s post-Powell sharp pullback.


Indeed, the greenback saw its decline gather impulse despite Fed’s Jerome Powell signalled that further interest rate hikes remain in store, as the battle to tackle inflation is far from over.


Chief Powell will testify once again later on Wednesday, this time before the Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, and investors expect the message to fall in line with the previous one.


In the US data space, usual Initial Jobless Claims are due seconded by the Chicago Fed National Activity Index, the CB Leading Index, Existing Home Sales and speeches by FOMC C.
