U.S. Dollar Index tested new highs as traders reacted to inflation reports. Inflation Rate increased from 2.4% in September to 2.6% in October, in line with analyst consensus. Core Inflation Rate remained unchanged at 3.3%.
In case U.S. Dollar Index stays above the 106.00 – 106.15 level, it will move towards the next resistance level, which is located in the 107.10 – 107.30 range.
EUR/USD tests new lows as traders focus on the strength of the American currency and bet that ECB will be more dovish than Fed.
If EUR/USD stays below the 1.0600 level, it will head towards the nearest support at 1.0525 – 1.0540.
GBP/USD tests support at 1.2675 – 1.2700 as the strong pullback continues. RSI is in the oversold territory, so the risks of a rebound are increasing.
A move below the 1.2675 level will push GBP/USD towards the 1.2600 level.
USD/CAD gained ground as traders focused on the pullback in precious metals markets. Other commodity-related currencies have also moved lower in today’s trading session.
A move above the 1.4000 level will push USD/CAD towards the next resistance at 1.4100 – 1.4120. RSI is in the moderate territory, so there is enough room to gain momentum in case the right catalysts emerge.
USD/JPY is moving higher as traders focus on U.S. inflation data. Inflation Rate increased, and traders worry that Fed may be more hawkish than previously expected.
A successful test of the resistance at 155.00 – 155.50 will push USD/JPY towards the next resistance level, which is located in the 157.50 – 158.00 range.
