U.S. Dollar Index tests new lows as traders react to inflation data. Inflation Rate declined from 2.8% in February to 2.4% in March, compared to analyst forecast of 2.6%. Tariff worries put additional pressure on the American currency.
U.S. Dollar Index settled below the support at 101.70 – 101.90 and is moving towards the next support at 100.20 – 100.40. RSI is close to the oversold territory, but there is enough room to gain additional downside momentum in the near term.
