DXY in lows around 97.90
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The US Dollar Index, which gauges the greenback against a basket of its main rivals, is testing session troughs in sub- 98.00 levels.
DXY weaker on US data
The greenback is extending its downbeat momentum this week, following another set of disappointing US results. This time, weekly Initial Claims ticked higher to 294K vs. 280K expected in the week ended on April 10, and Building Permits and Housing Starts missed consensus as well, coming in at 1.039 M (1.080 M exp.) and 0.926 M (1.040 M exp.), respectively.
Ahead in the session, the Philly Fed Manufacturing Survey will precede several speeches by Fed members.
DXY relevant levels
The index is now losing 0.43% at 97.90 with the next support at 97.26 (low Apr.8) followed by 96.93 (low Apr.7) and finally 96.33 (low Apr.6). On the flip side, a breakout of 98.66 (high Mar.31) would target 99.18 (high Apr.9) and then 99.36 (high Apr.15).
