US Dollar keeps gains around 95.50

FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The US Dollar Index, which tracks the greenback vs. its main rivals, keeps the positive note today, advancing to the mid-95.00s.

US Dollar indifferent on data

The index remained apathetic after US Producer Prices surprised markets to the upside in August, with headline prices coming in flat inter-month. Prices excluding food and energy costs rose 0.3% Mom and 0.9% over the last twelve months.

The greenback will take centre stage in the upcoming sessions in light of the critical FOMC meeting due on Wednesday. Market expectations of a Fed’s lift-off this month are now significantly lower, as market participants now seem to perceive December as a better timing for a rate hike.

US Dollar levels to consider

At the moment the index is up 0.04% at 95.49 with the next support at 95.19 (low Sep.1) ahead of 94.99 (low Aug.24) and finally 93.92 (low Aug.26). On the other hand, a breakout of 96.53 (high Sep.4) would expose 96.57 (high Aug.20) and then 97.07 (high Aug.19).
