The main market’s drivers
The resumption of pessimism in the stock markets of Europe has returned the US dollar to strengthen against most major competitors. So, at the start of the day, the growth of stock indices in the Asia-Pacific region was followed by a decline in the US currency across the the market. Very weak statistics on Europe and a decline in European stock indices brought US dollar buyers back to the market.
It is worth noting that the negative start of US stock indices is likely to slow down the strengthening of the American dollar, as was the case on Monday. The US dollar index managed to recover the losses at the beginning of the day and return to significant resistance 97.60-70. In the face of continuing concerns about the US-China trade opposition, further dollar growth is not excluded, but it will also be limited by market uncertainty. As a result, in the American session, movement within the range of 97.80 to 97.50-40 is very likely.
