    On Friday, February 4, at the start of the European session, DXY was up by 0.13%. However, the index is far from its January high of 97.44. 

    • DXY bulls look to recoup as the index tries to touch the 96-level. 
    • In January, the US CPI rose 7.5%, and initial claims increased by 223K. 
    • Yields remain stronger at a 2.5-year high, owing to hawkish Fedspeak and rising US inflation.

    DXY fundamental forecast

    The US Dollar Index is hovering at 95.92, up 0.13 percent intraday during Friday’s European session, while US Treasury yields are hovering around 2.035 percent, near the peak point since July 2019.

    Hottest CPI in four decades 

    The index swiftly jumped to multi-day peaks after US inflation rose at the greatest rate in 40 years in January, reaching 7.5 percent. In the same vein, core prices, which exclude energy and food expenses, increased by 6.0 percent in the previous year.

    Further data from the US docket indicated that Initial Claims were also higher than expected, climbing 223K in the week ending February 5.

    In March, the rise in US rates responded to the growing anticipation of a 50 basis point interest rate hike at the FOMC meeting.

    POTUS weigh in 

    In an interview with NBC News, US President Joe Biden reiterated the previous order from the US State Department to all Americans to leave Ukraine immediately.

    In his interview, Biden maintained that he would never send US forces to Ukraine, even to rescue Americans in a Russian invasion. “That’s a world war.” “We’re in a very different world when Americans and Russians start shooting at each other,” he remarked.

    Fears of a US-North Korean spat arose as the country refused to join the global drive to end the missile launches.

    The geopolitical and Fed-related concerns, together with ECB President Christine Lagarde’s rejection of a rate rise, add to the US dollar’s strength.

    On the calendar front, today we have Flash Consumer Sentiment. 

    What’s next? 

    Higher-than-expected US inflation numbers fueled the greenback, propelling DXY back into the 96.00 range. However, the amount and longevity of the dollar’s gain remain visible. Much of the current heightened inflation story has already been priced in by market players.

    In the long run, while the positive outlook for the greenback looks to be in place for the time being, recent hawkish statements from the BoE and the ECB have the potential to undercut the dollar’s predicted to rise higher in the coming months.

    DXY technical analysis: eyeing 96-level

    During the early European session, DXY is looking to stay above the 95.90-mark. So far, the index has risen 0.13%. The index is now trading above the 95.92 level. The index is slightly above its 100-day MA on the daily chart, and the RSI is neutral.

    A break above 96.00 would open the door to 96.20. If it can cross that level, we’ll see the index touching 96.45. On the flip side, the next support for the index lies around 95.24. If the index slips below this level, we can see a downward movement towards the 94.90 level.
