US Dollar propped up by data, attention to Powell

The index is prolonging the recent breakout of the key up barrier at 93.00 the figure bolstered by higher-than-expected US consumer confidence gauged by the Conference Board and somewhat supportive speech by Fed Chair nominee J.Powell.

Powell argued that the final size of the balance sheet should arrive within the next 3-4 years, while he also stressed that there are no estimates of the effects of tax cuts in the economy.

Regarding the latter, President Trump expected to meet with Senate Republicans later in the day and the Senate tax bill should be put to a vote as early as Thursday.
