The US Dollar Index (DXY) managed well to maintain business in the upper end of the range near 101.70 prior to key data releases on Wednesday.

On September 11, the UK docket will feature GDP figures, Balance of Trade results, Construction Output, Industrial and Manufacturing Production, and the NIESR Monthly GDP Tracker.

USD/JPY resumed its downtrend and broke below the 143.00 support, shifting its attention to recent lows in the sub-142.00 region. The BoJ’s Nakagawa is due to speak on September 11.

AUD/USD retreated for the third consecutive day, although it seems to have met some decent contention in the 0.6650-0.6640 band for the time being. Consumer Inflation Expectations and the speech by the RBA’s Hunter are expected on September 11.

Persistent demand concerns and a disheartening OPEC report sent WTI prices to the vicinity of the $65.00 mark per barrel for the first time since early May 2023.

Prices of Gold added to Monday’s uptick amidst marginal gains in the greenback and declining US yields prior to the release of the US CPI on Wednesday. Silver prices posted humble losses around the $28.30 zone following an earlier uptick to two-day highs.
