Today’s macroeconomic calendar is very light, while the scheduled quarterly earnings releases in the US are focused mainly on smaller companies, which may shift investors’ attention primarily toward Europe. In Europe, several large and market-relevant companies have already reported results today, including Siemens Energy, E.ON, RWE, ABN AMRO, Vestas Wind Systems and Swiss Life. Additional points of interest during the session include speeches from ECB officials and the OPEC Monthly Report. Economic calendar

USDIDX chart (D1 interval)

The US Dollar Index futures contract is trading higher today, extending yesterday’s gains supported by a hotter-than-expected CPI reading and hawkish comments from Fed’s Waller, who signalled a potential need for a 50 bp rate hike in the US and indicated that, over time, some of the policy easing already delivered by the Fed could be reversed. Key resistance levels are located near 102.3 and 102.5, based on previous price reactions, while an important support zone can be found around 101.3, also reinforced by price-action methodology.
