DXY turns south after US data

The renewed selling pressure surrounding the greenback seems to be allowing AUD/USD to gather bullish momentum ahead of the weekend. The monthly data published by the US Bureau of Economic Analysis showed on Friday that the Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index rose to 3.4% on a yearly basis in May. This reading came in line with analysts' estimate and eased concerns over the inflation outlook, triggering a USD selloff. 

At the moment, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is down 0.23% on the day at 91.60. Other data from the US revealed that Personal Spending remained unchanged in May while Personal Income contracted by 2% on a monthly basis.

Later in the session, the University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment Index for June will be looked upon for fresh impetus.

In the meantime, US stocks futures cling to modest daily gains, suggesting Wall Street's main indexes could open modestly higher.
