The US Dollar has maintained a relatively stable position, with the DXY index trading near its opening level. Market participants are keenly awaiting Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium, which is expected to provide clarity on the central bank’s monetary policy outlook.
Economic Data and Market Sentiment
The release of mixed economic data, including higher-than-expected jobless claims and a decline in manufacturing activity, has not significantly impacted the US Dollar. However, the market remains focused on the potential for interest rate cuts and the overall economic outlook.
Technical Outlook
The DXY index is trading near a crucial support level at 101.90. A break below this level could signal a further decline, with potential support at 100.62. However, a recovery above 103.18 would suggest a change in momentum.
