Wall Street began the week in the black. The Dow Jones gained 0.07%, while the Nasdaq gained 1.05%. Investors expressed confidence in the economy’s smooth landing.
The US Dollar Index closed above 103.15 for the first time in almost a month. However, it concluded well below the intraday high, implying that it may consolidate in the coming hours.

After recovering during the American session, the GBP/USD pair finished flat. The pair fell to 1.2616, matching the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), before rising to 1.2700.

USD/CAD maintains its upward trend, remaining over 1.3400. Canada’s inflation data is anticipated on Tuesday. In July, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is predicted to rise 0.3% month on month. The Manufacturing Sales report is also due.
The AUD/USD declined for the fifth day in a row but ended off its lows. The pair gained support at 0.6450 and returned to 0.6500. Commodity price declines and a cautious tone in financial markets are weighing on antipodean currencies. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) will disclose the minutes of its most recent meeting, at which it held the benchmark interest rate at 4.10% unchanged. Also due is the Wage Price Index.
The New Zealand dollar/US dollar fell to its lowest daily close since mid-November, trading below the 0.6000 mark. The bias predicts that the pair will continue to fall; however, the closure so far from the low shows that the pair may be set for some consolidation. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) will publish its monetary policy decision on Wednesday. The central bank is not likely to make any changes.
