GBP/USD: Pound At 14 Month Low vs. Dollar as UK Retail Sales In Focus
  • NFIB Index, IBD/TIPP Index ahead.
  • Trading activity is back to normal after Monday holiday.

The dollar index is trading above 93.00 levels today, advancing for the sixth continuous session. DXY had fallen to 91.70 levels during the start of September and pulled back in subsequent days on the back of the strong gains in the risk-associated assets.

The US docket today features the NFIB Index and the IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index. And later in the week, CPI inflation numbers and weekly claims will be in focus.

The dollar index’s positive bias has continued after the Non-farm Payrolls on Friday. But, the broader weakness in the dollar might persist as the more dovish Fed, the intensity of the coronavirus pandemic and the upcoming presidential election in November pulling down the greenback while the US-China tensions’ occasional spring-up could help in dollar strength.
