U.S. Dollar Index remains under pressure as traders react to the Initial Jobless Claims report. The report indicated that 221,000 Americans filed for unemployment benefits in a week, compared to analyst forecast of 235,000.
In case U.S. Dollar Index stays below the 104.30 level, it will move towards the next support level, which is located in the 103.20 – 103.40 range. It should be noted that RSI is in the oversold territory, so the risks of a rebound are increasing.
EUR/USD moved higher as traders focused on the ECB Interest Rate Decision. The ECB cut the interest rate from 2.9% to 2.65%, in line with analyst estimates.
If EUR/USD climbs above the 1.0850 level, it will head towards the nearest resistance level at 1.0920 – 1.0935.
GBP/USD is mostly flat after the release of UK Construction PMI report, which showed that UK Construction PMI decreased from 48.1 in January to 44.6 in February.
A move below the 1.2850 level will push GBP/USD towards the support level at 1.2810 – 1.2830.
USD/CAD pulled back as traders reacted to reports indicating that Donald Trump would defer tariffs on goods and services under the USMCA agreement.
In case USD/CAD settles below the 1.4250 level, it will head towards the next support level at 1.4150 – 1.4170.
USD/JPY rebounded from recent lows as traders focused on rising Treasury yields. The yield of 10-year Treasuries settled above the 4.30% level, providing support to USD/JPY.
If USD/JPY stays above the 148.00 level, it will head towards the resistance level at 149.00 – 149.50.
