The greenback, in terms of the US Dollar Index, extends its recovery to the 97.70 area on Thursday, trimming part of yesterday’s losses. The greenback has managed to recover from Wednesday’s lows near 97.20 following a softer tone in the risk-associated space. The index remains well supported by US Treasuries yields so far in spite of the lower-than-expected results from Initial Claims during last week. Moving forward to tomorrow’s calendar in the US economy, Retail Sales will take centre stage, followed by Producer Prices and the Consumer Sentiment gauged by the Reuters/Michigan index. As of writing the US Dollar Index is advancing 0.46% at 97.78 and a break above 99.00 (23.6% Fibo of 93.83-100.60) would aim for 100.00 (psychological handle) and finally 100.60 (high Dec.3). On the other hand, the immediate support lines up at 97.51 (low Dec.9) followed by 96.77 (200-day sma) and finally 95.25 (4-month uptrend).
