The dollar index lost momentum following a dovish tone from Federal Reserve officials. 

In a surprising turn, the dollar index lost its momentum following a markedly dovish tone from Federal Reserve officials, igniting widespread speculation that the central bank might maintain interest rates through 2023’s end. This sentiment shift occurred amidst rising Treasury yields and escalated tensions in the Middle East, discouraging the Fed from pursuing further monetary tightening measures. Meanwhile, the conflict between Hamas and Israel had a seismic impact on commodities: oil prices experienced their most significant surge since July, while gold prices saw a remarkable 1.6% overnight increase. Geopolitical events are reshaping market dynamics, prompting investors to reassess strategies in response to these unfolding global developments.

DOLLAR_INDX, Daily

The Dollar Index edged lower as traders brace for upcoming high-impact events, including US Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) data, along with the release of Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting minutes. Market consensus suggests that recent monetary policy tightening may help stabilise US inflation figures, potentially leading to a US Dollar selloff.

The Dollar Index is trading lower following the prior retracement from the resistance level. MACD has illustrated increasing bearish momentum, while RSI is at 58, suggesting the index might extend its losses toward support level since the RSI retreated sharply from overbought territory.  

Resistance level: 106.95, 108.65

Support level: 105.25, 103.15

Support level: 1835.00, 1785.00

EUR/USD price chart 10 August 2023

EUR/USD,H4

The euro exhibits a robust trend reversal, bolstered by a softening dollar following the Federal Reserve’s notably dovish stance.

Dow Jones,H4

The Dow Jones Industrial Average exhibited resilience, recovering from early-day weakness as investors seized the opportunity. This rebound comes in the backdrop of a cautious approach by Federal Reserve officials regarding interest rate hikes and growing apprehensions surrounding the Israel-Hamas conflict. The Israeli government’s decision to shut down energy fields has reverberated through financial markets, impacting defence and energy stocks positively. Additionally, US airlines faced headwinds due to flight suspensions to Israel and the ongoing rise in oil prices, which compounds fuel cost pressures for the industry.

The Dow is trading higher following the prior breakout above the resistance level. MACD has illustrated increasing bullish momentum, while RSI is at 51, suggesting the index might extend its gains toward resistance level since the RSI rebounded sharply from oversold territory.

GBP/USD, H4

The British Pound advances, capitalising on a weakening dollar that market shifts toward U.S. Treasuries have prompted amidst escalating tension in the Middle East. Israel’s declaration of war against Hamas further intensifies global uncertainties. The dollar’s bullish momentum has also been curtailed by dovish remarks from Fed officials, setting the stage for a pivotal moment as markets await Thursday’s U.S. CPI data.

The Cable is trading firmly above its long-term downtrend channel, suggesting a solid trend reversal signal for the Cable. The RSI and the MACD are both moving upward suggesting the bullish momentum is forming.
