The dollar index traded in a relatively sideways range, poised at its weekly high, awaiting PMI readings to gauge the strength of the U.S. economy. The UK and eurozone PMI readings are due today and may directly impact the recent lacklustre price movement for both currencies. Conversely, the New Zealand dollar has been trading under strong downside pressure, heading to its 3-month low levels amid heightened speculation that the RBNZ will soon start cutting rates.
On Wall Street, the equity market was dragged down by Tesla, which missed earnings expectations and lacked catalysts, causing all the major indexes to close slightly lower in the last session.
In the commodity market, gold prices edged slightly higher in the last session, while oil prices continued to trade with high downside risk despite the release of strong U.S. crude inventories data last night. The deteriorating demand outlook and surplus oil supply in the market have been weighing on oil prices.
Additionally, the U.S. SEC has approved the first batch of ETH ETFs, with nine ETFs going live yesterday. Both BTC and ETH prices have yet to react significantly to the launch of these ETFs.

The Dollar Index, which trades against a basket of six major currencies, extended its gains ahead of several crucial US economic data releases. This is likely due to bargain buying after the currency hit a crucial support level. Furthermore, major banks like Morgan Stanley and Barclays Plc have suggested that a potential Trump victory could boost the dollar, with Trump’s proposed policies expected to strengthen the currency. The recent news of Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the Presidential race also contributed to the dollar’s rebound.
The dollar index is trading higher following the prior breakout above the previous resistance level. MACD has illustrated increasing bullish momentum, while RSI is at 62, suggesting the index might extend its gains since the RSI stays above the midline.
Resistance level: 104.75, 105.15
Support level: 104.45, 104.05
Gold prices have begun to rebound slightly due to bargain buying and technical correction. Before the release of several crucial US economic data, including the US GDP and US Core PCE Price Index, market participants are entering the gold market to hedge against rising market volatility. The uncertainties surrounding the US Presidential elections are also supporting gold prices. In the short term, a small consolidation movement in the gold market is expected until any significant breakout occurs, which could be triggered by upcoming US economic data.
Gold prices are trading higher following the prior rebound from the support level. MACD has illustrated increasing bullish momentum, while RSI is at 47, suggesting the commodity might extend its gains since the RSI rebounded sharply from oversold territory.

Support level: 2395.00, 2365.00

The Japanese yen has emerged as a favourable trading product recently, rising for a second straight session against the dollar. This surge is driven by speculation that the Bank of Japan (BoJ) might increase interest rates following comments from several Japanese politicians about normalising monetary policy. Additionally, potential currency intervention from the BoJ has bolstered demand for the yen. All eyes are now on the BoJ meeting on 31st July, where further restrictive monetary policy decisions may be announced, which could further strengthen the yen.
