Reportedly, an app called UdenUSA (meaning "No America") is gaining widespread popularity in Denmark. The app was developed by 21-year-old Dane Jonas Piper and his friend Malte Hensbel.

The UdenUSA app addresses this need by indicating the country of origin for each product.On January 24, local time, an Iranian official stated that the Iranian military is prepared to respond to any possible actions by the United States.

The US Dollar Index (DXY) clings to 98.000 despite a gloomy mood and a need for safe havens

  • The US Dollar Index closed March with a 1.65% rise, boosted by a bearish market attitude.

  • A protracted confrontation between Russia and Ukraine could benefit safe-haven assets.

  • Money market futures have priced in a 69.9 percent possibility of the Fed raising interest rates by 50 basis points at its May meeting.

  • DXY Price Prediction: The bias is upward, but a breach below 97.802 might allow for additional losses.

 

The US Dollar Index, usually known as DXY, is a measure of the value of the US dollar versus a basket of six currencies. It closed March positively, with a monthly gain of 1.65 percent, its best since November of 2021. At the time of writing, the US Dollar Index was at 98.348.

 

On the last trading day of March, the market was in a bad mood. Failure to reach a significant settlement in the Russia-Ukraine crisis leaves investors on edge, enhancing the dollar's prospects. Furthermore, money market futures forecast the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates by 50 basis points at its May and June meetings, keeping the US dollar on the rise.

 

The US Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE), the Federal Reserve's preferred gauge of inflation, increased by 6.4 percent year on year in February, exceeding the previous 6 percent reading. Meanwhile, Core PCE, which excludes volatile items, increased by 5.4 percent year on year, exceeding the 5.5 percent predicted by analysts.

 

Simultaneously, the US Department of Labor released Initial Jobless Claims for the week ending March 26. The final result was 202K, which was more than the 197K predicted.

DXY Price Prediction: Technical Outlook

The US Dollar Index remains bullish, but is consolidating in the 97.800-99.418 zone. The 50-day and 200-day moving averages (DMAs) remain below the price with an upward slope, indicating that the uptrend is still in place.

 

On the upside, the DXY's first resistance level is 99.000. If the latter is breached, the YTD high of 99.418 will be revealed, followed by the crucial 100.00 barrier.

 

The DXY first support, on the other hand, would be 98.000. A definitive breach would reveal 97.802, which, if broken, would clear the road to 96.000, but it would encounter some obstacles on the way down. The 50-DMA at 97.196 would be the next level of support, followed by 96.000.
