In the realm of U.S. equity markets, the dominant theme remains the Federal Reserve’s resolute hawkish stance, indicating an enduring era of monetary tightening. This posture has cast a shadow over tech-heavy indices, as the spectre of heightened borrowing costs looms. Concurrently, the U.S. dollar has emerged as the premier safe-haven asset, eclipsing both the yen and gold, especially when the United States grapples with the spectre of a government shutdown. Meanwhile, the price of oil has staged a remarkable recovery, breaching the $90 mark. This resurgence comes on the heels of the market digesting the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy outlook. Remarkably, it rides high on the back of robust oil fundamentals, despite the surprising uptick in U.S. crude oil stockpiles as the U.S. API report revealed.

DOLLAR_INDX, H4

The US Dollar continued its robust performance, bolstered by climbing US bond yields. Despite a slew of underwhelming US economic data, including the Housing Price Index and Consumer Confidence Index, investors maintain a bullish stance, driven by expectations of Federal Reserve rate hikes. As the week progresses, market participants should keep a keen eye on upcoming economic data releases, particularly GDP figures, Initial Jobless Claims, and the PCE Price Index. These data points are poised to provide critical signals for future trading decisions.

The Dollar Index is trading higher while currently testing the resistance level. However, MACD has illustrated diminishing bullish momentum, while RSI is at 67, suggesting the index might enter overbought territory. 

Resistance level: 106.25, 107.05

Support level: 105.40, 104.25

The euro remains entrenched in a bearish trajectory, recording a decline of over 0.7% for the week. This downturn is primarily attributed to the highest treasurie yield in a decade, a direct consequence of the Federal Reserve’s resolute Hawkish stance. This upward momentum has propped up the dollar, anchoring it firmly above the $106 threshold.

These prevailing conditions continue to bolster the dollar’s position.

Meanwhile, the recent BoE interest rate decision continues to weigh on Sterling. Investor focus now pivots to the eagerly anticipated UK GDP report set to release on Friday. Hopes are high that this data could provide the catalyst needed to spur a Sterling recovery.

The USD/JPY pair has surged to an 11-month peak, with market participants pushing the boundaries, testing the waters before potential intervention by Japanese authorities to stabilise their currency. In the minutes from the Bank of Japan’s July meeting, insights emerge indicating optimism. Several board members expressed that companies were poised to continue raising wages the following year. Furthermore, some members suggested the possibility of the Bank of Japan discerning that its long-pursued inflation target could be achieved as early as the first quarter of 2024.
