US Dollar Might Get Under Pressure After These Events

What to expect from the USD today?
Today, two events will shake the US dollar. First, at 16:45 GMT+2, Markit, a statistical company, will release the US Flash Services PMI. Analysts expect the index to reach 48.0, against 46.6 in October, pointing to a slow economic recovery. If the actual result meets or overperforms the expectations, the US dollar will weaken against other currencies.
At 21:00 GMT+2, the Federal Reserve will release its meeting minutes. It's a detailed record of the FOMC's most recent meeting, providing in-depth insights into the economic and financial conditions that influenced their vote on interest rates.
The upcoming key rate hikes in December and February meetings remain the major topic for discussion among traders and investors. This record will provide valuable information regarding the future of the US monetary policy.
US dollar index, H4 chart
Currently, the US dollar index is consolidating above the lower border of the rising channel. In the short term, the index might increase to 108.20. However, sellers will dominate the market after the releases and send the US dollar index toward the 104.95 - 105.30 support range. In this case, EURUSD, GBPUSD, and XAUUSD might fly toward new local highs.
