DXY dips further, near 97.40
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The greenback, in terms of the US Dollar Index, has intensified its intraday decline and is now challenging session troughs in the 97.40/35 band.
DXY hurt by US data
The index continues to suffer the poor releases in the US economy. This time New Home Sales, Markit’s manufacturing PMI and Initial Claims all came in below expectations, eclipsing yesterday’s upbeat releases from the housing sector (Existing Home Sales) and dragging the index to weekly lows near 97.30.
in addition, optimism around the imminence of a EU-Greece deal has given a boost to the risk-associated assets, collaborating with the USD’s decline.
DXY relevant levels
The index is now retreating 0.49% at 97.45 and a breakdown of 97.00 (low Apr.17) would target 96.93 (low Apr.7) en route to 96.33 (low Apr.6). On the upside, the initial hurdle aligns at 98.66 (high Mar.31) ahead of 99.18 (high Apr.9) and then 99.36 (high Apr.15).
