    On Thursday, Aug 26, the US dollar index dropped slightly after relatively disappointing data on US GDP and jobless claims. 

    • US unemployment claims and US GDP Q2 data missed expectations that weighed on the dollar. 
    • Australia and China have shown economic slowdown resulting in hampering the global economic recovery.
    • US Core PCE and Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole are the key events to the eye.  

    DXY Dollar Index fundamental analysis: crucial events to decide the fate

    The global financial markets are eying on Fed Chair Powell’s speech that primarily depends on the economic performance of the US. Hence, secondary economic data are necessary to watch ahead of Powell’s speech.

    According to the latest figures, the economy grew 6.6% in the second quarter. While this was better than the original 6.5% estimate, it was worse than the 6.0% average. 

    Americans filed 353,000 initial unemployment benefit applications last week, up from 349,000 the previous week. In addition, more than 2.86 million people applied for unemployment benefits. As the currency reacts to the recent Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) estimate and Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech later today, current economic data will be central to the currency fluctuation.

    Australian dollar

    Following the latest retail sales data release, the Australian dollar declined during the Asian session on Friday, Aug 27. Overall retail sales declined 2.3% in July after falling 1.8% the previous month. The decline was more significant than the 2.3% average estimate and was caused by recent blockages. 

    China Industrial Profits Data

    The China Industrial Profits Data for July showed 16.40% growth, down from 20.0% growth the previous month. Over the past year, profits have risen by 57.3%.

    Economic calendar

    Today’s economic calendar will be relatively calm. 

    • The German statistical office publishes a recent import and export price index. 
    • The Swedish government will also publish economic data, retail sales numbers, and consumer confidence numbers. One day before this release, the statistical office released vital inflation data. 
    • Canada will publish data on retail and industrial inflation. Stocks will also decline ahead of Jerome Powell’s speech.

    Fed Chair Powell’s speech

    Due partly to the Federal Reserve’s boost and better-than-expected results from another US GDP revision in April-June, the S&P 500 managed to close above 93.00 on Thursday after four consecutive daily pullbacks.

    Bullard (dove, voter for 2022), president of the St. Louis Fed, predicts that the current contraction will end by the first quarter of 2022. However, KC Fed E. George (Hawk, 2022 voter) and Atlanta Fed R. Kaplan (Hawk, 2023 voter) both expressed concerns about the “impending housing bubble.”

    Likewise, US bond yields rose to new highs around 1.38 percent along with the dollar’s uptrend.

    Inflation data recorded by the PCE will dominate the US data center, followed by personal income/expenses, trade balance results, and consumer sentiment.

    As for investors, they’ll be watching Fed Chair Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium on economic prospects, in which QE easing will be discussed.

    DXY technical analysis: key SMAs to keep bearish pressure

    The 4-hour chart of the DXY index tells that the 50-period SMA caps the price. The price is now falling below the convergence of 20-period and 100-period SMAs on the same chart. The index may find some support near the 200-period SMA around 92.70. Further bearish momentum can see 92.46 as the next support, a swing low of Aug 21. 

    On the upside, 93.20, a previous double top, maybe a resistance ahead of the 9-month top at 93.72.
