US Dollar looks to data

The index is fading part of yesterday’s advance today, finding decent support around the 94.20 zone, where sits the key 21-day sma, always amidst declining US yields and trade jitters.

In fact, the greenback keeps the erratic performance so far this week, as investors remain vigilant on the developments from the US-China-EU trade front, at the same time prompting the sentiment to remain biased towards the risk-off trade.

Adding to the downbeat mood around the buck, yields of the key US 10-year note area dropping to fresh lows in the 2.85% neighbouhood, area last visited in late May.

In the US data space, May’s Durable Goods Orders and advanced Goods Trade Balance are coming up next along with speeches by FOMC’s R.Quarles and E.Rosengren.
