US Dollar tumbles to lows near 96.20 ahead of GDP

The greenback, tracked by the US Dollar Index, is extending its weekly decline to the area of 96.20 ahead of key releases in the US economy.

US Dollar weaker pre-GDP

The index has dropped to fresh 2-week lows around 96.20, retracing further Monday’s 4-month peaks at 97.62 against a backdrop of increasing offered bias accentuated after the dovish statement at the FOMC meeting on Wednesday.

USD will remain under pressure later in the NA session, in light of the publication of advanced US GDP figures for the second quarter and the final prints of the Consumer Sentiment gauged by the Reuters/Michigan index for the month of July.

US Dollar relevant levels

The index is losing 0.50% at 96.21 and a break below 95.78 (low Jul.8) would expose 95.38 (low Jul.5) and finally 95.12 (100-day sma). On the other hand, the next resistance lines up at 97.62 (high Jul.25) followed by 98.58 (high Mar.1) and then 99.95 (high Jan.21).
