U.S. Dollar Index (DX) Futures Technical Analysis – Strong Upside Momentum Puts 94.570 – 94.740 on the Radar
The U.S. Dollar is trading near a 2-1/2 week high against a basket of major currencies early Monday as rapidly rising inflation in the United States boosted the case for earlier Federal Reserve interest rate hikes.
The U.S. Federal Reserve holds a two-day monetary policy meeting November 2-3 with the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) widely expected to announce a tapering of stimulus on Wednesday. However, investors are hoping for clues as to the timing of the first interest rate hike and possibly others.
