Focus on USDX Today – 6th October 2023


Comprehensive USDX Analysis for October 6, 2023

In this comprehensive analysis, Ultima Markets brings you an insightful breakdown of the USDX for 6th October 2023. 


The Core: Fundamental Factors

  • ADP Employment Data: Recent ADP employment data showed a significant drop below expectations. This is a crucial indicator of labor market dynamics.
  • Historically Low Jobless Claims: The announcement of 207,000 initial jobless claims last week, still at a historical low, underscores the robustness of the job market.
  • Fewest Quarterly Layoffs: U.S. companies have reported the fewest quarterly layoffs in a year due to strong seasonal hiring plans. This is a significant positive signal for the economy.

The Turning Point: Interest Rates

The above factors collectively raise questions about the possibility of interest rate adjustments in the near future. The final decision hinges on the impending release of US non-farm employment data, due tonight. This data will be pivotal in shaping the USDX’s trajectory.


The Technical Aspect: USDX Trends

  • Daily Chart Trends: On the daily chart, the US dollar index has experienced a two-day decline. The stochastic oscillator’s dead cross in the overbought area suggests a short-term downtrend.
  • Bearish Trend: To confirm a bear trend, it’s crucial for the USDX to break effectively below its recent lows. The initial target rests near the blue 17-day moving average.
  • Hourly Chart Insights: On the hourly chart, the market has breached the support level around 106.23. The ATR combination indicator confirms this breakdown.
  • Pivot Indicator: As per Ultima Markets’ pivot indicator, the central price for the day is 106.200.
