US Dollar regains 94.00 and beyond
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The greenback, tracked by the US Dollar Index, has recovered the 94.00 handle on Tuesday, coming back from Monday’s lows around 92.60.
US Dollar boosted by risk
The better sentiment around the greenback is accompanying today’s correction higher, with markets shrugging off another earlier drop in the Chinese stock market.
In the meantime, USD continues to suffer diminishing expectations of a Fed’s lift-off even in December, with market participants increasingly seeing Q1 2016 as the most likely timing for the first rate hike after almost a decade.
Ahead in the session, US Services PMI gauged by Markit, New Home Sales and Consumer Confidence will be in the limelight later today in the data space.
US Dollar relevant levels
As of writing the index is up 0.69% at 93.97 facing the immediate resistance at 94.23 (high Aug.25) ahead of 94.96 (high Aug.24) and finally 95.81 (high Aug.21). On the downside, a breach of 92.59 (low Aug.24) would aim for 92.20 (low Jan.21) and then 92.08 (low Jan.16).
