DXY comes under some selling pressure following new YTD highs.
Extra upside continues to target the 200-day SMA.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

DXY gives away part of recent gains to the vicinity of the 106.00 mark, or new 2023 peaks.

The continuation of the rebound in the dollar seems like for the time being. The breakout of the round level at 106.00 should put the index en route to a probable test of the key 200-day SMA, today at 106.60.

A convincing move beyond the latter should shift the outlook to constructive in the short-term horizon and allow for the continuation of the uptrend.

Gold remains offered below $5,000

Gold stays on the defensive on Tuesday, receding to the sub-$5,000 region per troy ounce on the back of the persistent move higher in the Greenback. The precious metal’s decline is also underpinned by the modest uptick in US Treasury yields across the spectrum.
