Personal opinions today:

 

Yesterday, there were no essential data and news in the market, and the US dollar index continued to range, from 97.30 to 97.55. Dollar index by hour chart, the pattern shows three top. But today, the Eurozone release trade account for April, CPI for May, and the ZEW economic sentiment index for the Eurozone and Germany for June. These data will affect EUR performance. In the evening, the ECB President, Mario Draghi speech. The Eurozone data and Draghi remarks could affect the EUR and other European currencies. At the moment, markets are pricing in a contraction in Eurozone inflation and weaker economic sentiment from a month ago, which could weigh against the EUR and limit its gains.

 

The federal reserve monetary price meeting begins its first day tomorrow, and markets expect the Fed to hold its interest rate and monetary policy statements. The market is expected to cut rates when the Fed meeting in July. For now, the market is watching Fed chairman Powell hold a news conference, looking for the direction of the Fed's monetary policy. If the Fed says it plans to cut rates more than once in the third and fourth quarters of this year, it could affect investor confidence in dollar assets and the dollar in the second half of the year. 

 

The short-term dollar index is expected to trade in a tight range between 97.30 and 97.55 resistance. Any stronger or weaker data in Eurozone data could have an impact on the US dollar.
