Looking at the market widow it looks like a see-saw. The USD recoils, following dovish comments on the prospects of the upcoming Fed rate hike. The US Dollar Index (DXY), does not show clear evidence of this dovish nosedive. Oscillating between 96.04 – 96.34. Albeit capricious ahead of today’s economic events in which investors will be focusing on the US Building Permits Reports gauging the strength of the economy. Amid OPEC’s meeting, UK’s Inflation Report Hearing and Gov. Mark Carney’s speech which are all due on the docket.
