- Although the US dollar index has been recovering after the yesterday plunge, most of the major currencies are appreciating against the USD.
The GBP/USD pair has been trying to recover. We have already got Tuesday economic data. The figures are mixed, but the decline in average earnings index data is a negative signal for the pair. GBP/USD has tested the resistance near 1.2830, but the weak data doesn’t let it rise further. If the USD keeps strengthening today, there are risks of the fall to the support at 1.2720.
- NZD/USD has been climbing to the resistance at 0.6635 (the pivot point). To get chances for recovering, the pair needs to break above the pivot point. However, the trading isn’t extensive and the USD is rising, so chances to break above 0.6635 are low. The pair is anticipated to keep trading within 0.6535 (the trendline) – 0.6635.
