The US Dollar (USD) is on track to lock in an eleventh consecutive week of gains as the interest-rate differential between the US and other countries gets bigger by the day. This differential keeps backing the US Dollar as it does the flight to safe havens, where the Greenback is the place to be. King Dollar’s rally hasn’t likely finished and might head toward the 52-week high when measured by the DXY US Dollar Index. Investors’ eyes are on the final estimate of US Gross Domestic Product numbers for Q2, due at 12:30 GMT.. Although the number is of big importance, analysts do not expect any market-moving reaction, as it is the third reading for the second quarter. Rather keep an eye on the usual weekly Initial Jobless Claims, which might be the devil in the detail.

The US Dollar looks to be on a mission this week, surprising friends and foes with yet again a firm winning streak. Another weekly gain is almost locked in, making it an eleven straight week of gains for the US Dollar. With the US Dollar Index (DXY) breaking above 106.00, traders are eyeballing 107.00 next. The US Dollar Index opened around 106.50, though the overheated RSI might make it difficult to maintain this level. Traders that want to hit a new 52-week high need to be aware that a lot of road needs to be covered towards 114.78. Rather look for 107.19, the high of November 30, 2022, as the next profit target on the upside. On the downside, the recent resistance at 105.88 should be seen as first support. Still, it has just been broken to the upside, so it isn’t likely to be a strong barrier. Rather look for 105.12 to do the trick and keep the DXY above 105.00.
