Will the job data impair the US dollar gain?
Macro theme:
- The dollar remained steady despite short-term volatility, reflecting mixed economic data. US Sep Retail Inventories and Oct Consumer Confidence exceeded forecasts, while Sep Job Openings fell short.
- Treasury yields reached multi-month highs early but declined following a strong seven-year auction.
- With the US job report—the last before the FOMC meeting—approaching, storms and strikes could complicate interpreting the data, introducing further uncertainty around the dollar’s direction.
Technical theme:
- DXY is consolidating in a small range at the top and looks stretched. This is vulnerable to a potential mean reversion. The price is trading away from both EMAs.
- If DXY extends its gain above the previous swing high at 104.60, the index may rise to 106.00 resistance.
- On the contrary, if DXY closes below 104.00 support, the index may decline to retest 103.45 support.

I’ve taken a break from my public community engagements to focus on raising my three kids, but I'm rediscovering my passion for working again. Stay connected, as I plan to return and rejoin my old communities with a lot of new skills one day soon.
