The USD Index (DXY), which measures the greenback's performance against a basket of six major currencies, currently stands at 102.87.

Forecast of USD trend this week

The DXY index may remain within a certain range, before data on the US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Index - the US Federal Reserve's inflation measure - is released on June 30.

During his testimony before the US Congress earlier this week, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell reiterated the central bank’s “hawkish” stance on interest rate policy in the coming period. He also emphasized that, although inflation is still far from the Fed’s target, the Fed may still need to raise interest rates further but at a “more cautious pace”.

The core PCE price index in May is forecast to remain unchanged at 4.7% year-on-year, while the PCE price index is expected to decline from 4.4% in April to 3.8% in May.

Over the past week, the DXY Index has held well above the key support level of 102, trading in a range of 102-103. Any break above the resistance level at 102.50-103.25 could establish an uptrend for the greenback. Conversely, if the index falls below 102, it could fall straight to the 101-100.50 region in the coming days, establishing a short-term bearish trend.

Elsewhere, the Euro saw a slight decline last week, falling below the key 1.09 level, but still holding firm in the 1.0870-1.0850 support zone. If the currency can hold well in this support zone, the short-term outlook will be bullish, even aiming for the 1.11-1.1135 target in the coming weeks.
