DXY off lows near 94.50
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - After dropping to fresh lows in the 96.30 area, the US Dollar Index is now regaining some pips and trading in the 96.45/50 band.
DXY softer on sentiment, data
The US dollar reverted the initial positive tone during the Asian trading hours, as sentiment towards the risk appetite started to gather traction during the European morning.
Mixed US data did little-to-nothing to curb the softness around the greenback, with Markit’s Sevices PMI coming in above estimates, ISM Non Manufacturing in line with consensus and the Labor Market Conditions Index contracted to -0.3 during March from February’s 4.
DXY levels to consider
The index is now down 0.08% at 96.46 with the initial support at 96.33 (low Apr.6) ahead of 96.17 (low Mar.26) and finally 95.84 (low Mar.5). On the upside, a breakout of 96.80 (high Apr.6) would open the door to 98.64 (high Apr.1) and then 99.11 (high Mar.20).
