Key Insights

U.S. Dollar

U.S. Dollar Index tested new highs after the release of the better-than-expected JOLTs Job Openings report, which showed that the number of job openings increased to 9.6 million.

In case U.S. Dollar Index settles above the resistance at 106.90 – 107.20, it will head towards the next resistance level, which is located in the 108.00 – 108.35 range.

EUR/USD

EUR/USD is losing ground as traders focus on rising Treasury yields. The yield of 30-year Treasuries settled above the 4.90% level, the highest level since 2007.

From the technical point of view, EUR/USD settled below the previous support at 1.0520 and is moving towards the next support level at 1.0360 – 1.0400.

GBP/USD

GBP/USD is trading near multi-month lows as traders stay focused on the general strength of the U.S. dollar.

The nearest support level for GBP/USD is located in the 1.2000 – 1.2030 range. A move below this level will push GBP/USD towards the support at 1.1800 – 1.1830.

USD/CAD

USD/CAD stays close to recent highs despite the strong rebound in the oil markets.

A successful test of the resistance at 1.3675 – 1.3700 will push USD/CAD towards the next resistance level at 1.3800 – 1.3830.

USD/JPY

USD/JPY suffered a strong sell-off, and it looks that BoJ has finally intervened to provide support to the Japanese currency.

USD/JPY found support near 147.30 and climbed back towards the 149.00 level. The near-term dynamics of USD/JPY will depend on the BoJ’s actions.
