Hello everyone, today XM Foreign Exchange will bring you "[XM Foreign Exchange Market Review]: Trump continues to bombard Powell, the US dollar hovers around 98, and gold soars." Hope it will be helpful to you! The original content is as follows:
On April 22, in the early Asian market on Tuesday, Beijing time, the US dollar index hovered around 98.50. On Monday, the dollar index plummeted to its lowest level since March 2022, eventually closing down 0.885% to 98.36 as Trump's bombardment of Powell hurt investors' confidence in U.S. assets. The yield curve of US Treasury has steepened sharply, with the benchmark 10-year US Treasury yield closing at 4.414%; the yield of two-year US Treasury, which is more sensitive to monetary policy, closed at 3.775%. Thanks to the weakening of the US dollar and the inflow of safe-haven funds, spot gold opened high and closed high, breaking the $3,430/ounce mark intraday, continuing to hit a record high, pulling up more than $100 in the day, and finally closing up 2.91% to $3,424.37/ounce. Spot silver fell back after hitting the $33/ounce mark, closing up 0.26% to $32.67/ounce. International crude oil returned to a decline, with the U.S. and Blanc falling more than 3% during the day as signs of progress in negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, while investors are still worried that the economic headwinds brought by tariffs may curb fuel demand. WTI crude oil finally closed down 1.62% at $62.67 per barrel; Brent crude oil closed down 1.81% at $65.74 per barrel.
Analysis of major currencies
Dollar Index: As of press time, the US dollar index hovers around 98.50. The US dollar index is currently facing multiple fundamental pressures. The G20 Treasury Secretary and Central Bank Governors Meeting held in Washington, DC from Tuesday to Thursday will focus on the weakening of the dollar, which will undoubtedly become the market focus. The Trump administration plans to hold high-level talks with Japan and South Korea during the meeting to discuss weakness in the yen and won. Japanese Prime MinisterShigeru Ishiba has made a tougher statement on exchange rate fairness, and both sides are expected to fight back against the alleged allegations of exchange rate manipulation. Technically, the US dollar index is trying to return to above the 98.50 level. If this attempt is successful, it will move towards the nearest resistance level 98.80–99.00.
