FOREX: USD Index Extends Towards Aug Highs, Notable GBP and NZD Weakness

Nov-04 17:25
  • Further upward pressure on the greenback was on show Tuesday, prompting the USD index to establish its position back above the 100 mark, at fresh recovery highs. The index traded to within 4 pips of the August 01 highs. Price action led an impressive lurch lower for spot gold, which briefly extended declines to 1.8% on the day to $3,930/oz. Across the G10, dented risk sentiment weighed significantly on the likes of AUD and NZD, while additional fiscal headwinds added further pressure on GBP.
  • GBPUSD extended notably lower, with downside momentum building on a break of 1.31. UK Chancellor Reeves’ pre-budget appearance provided her clearest signal yet that sizeable tax rises are incoming (suggested by the statement of working in the national interest, rather than political popularity), as well as indicating her intention to pave the way with fiscal policy to allow for further BoE rate cuts.
  • As we approach the APAC crossover, GBPUSD sits below 1.3041, the Apr 14 low, another bearish technical development for the pair. 1.2971 will act as interim support on the way to 1.2709, a key medium-term level.
  • NZDUSD tracks lower for a fifth consecutive session on Tuesday, significantly breaching both trendline support (drawn from the April lows) and the recent cycle low of 0.5683. Coupled with the NZDUSD extension lower, AUDNZD was also in focus Tuesday, after two separate rallies stalled just ahead of key medium-term resistance at 1.1491.
  • We have highlighted that a break of this level would place the cross at its highest point since 2013, with plenty of attention on the level/1.1500 ahead of NZ employment data, which highlights the APAC calendar on Wednesday.
  • Central bank decisions in Sweden, Poland and Brazil are also due tomorrow, while US ISM services data are also scheduled.
