Dollar Index Rises to Seven-Week High on Strong U.S. Economic Data
Oil Prices Surge Amid Middle East Tensions, Posting Best Weekly Gains in a Year
Yen Weakens as Japans New PM Signals Economic Caution on Rate Hike
Market Summary
The Dollar Index surged to a seven-week high, driven by strong U.S. economic data, with Nonfarm Payrolls hitting 254,000 and the Unemployment Rate dropping to 4.1%. This data diminished expectations for a 50-basis-point rate cut, bolstering the dollar but weighing on gold as the stronger dollar overshadowed the metals safe-haven appeal.
Oil prices posted their best weekly gains in over a year amid heightened Middle East tensions, with Brent and WTI up over 8% and 9.1%, respectively. The risk of regional conflict has raised supply concerns, particularly around Irans significant oil output, adding volatility to the market.
The Japanese yen weakened considerably following comments from Japans new Prime Minister, Shigeru Ishiba, who indicated that the economy is not ready for further rate hikes. This dovish stance, combined with reduced expectations for aggressive U.S. rate cuts, has widened the yield differential between the U.S. and Japan, contributing to yen softness.
Moving forward, Investors will continue monitoring the U.S. CPI data and the Fed's September meeting minutes this week, as these could influence market dynamics further.

DOLLAR_INDX, H4
The Dollar Index surged to a seven-week high, demonstrating strong bullish momentum amid a series of robust U.S. economic data releases. The Nonfarm Payrolls jumped to 254K, significantly above the expected 147K, while the Unemployment Rate improved to 4.1% versus an expected 4.2%. Average Hourly Earnings also exceeded expectations, rising by 0.4%. This data eliminated the likelihood of a 50-basis-point rate cut, with the CME Group's FedWatch Tool showing a drastic shift in expectations from 31% earlier on Friday and 53% a week ago to no chance of a cut.
The Dollar Index has broken its previous high at $101.80, suggesting it is currently trading in extreme bullish momentum. The RSI has broken into the overbought zone, while the MACD continues to edge higher, suggesting the bullish momentum is gaining.
Resistance level:102.4, 103.30
Support level: 101.10, 100.30
XAU/USD, H4
Gold prices experienced volatility, with investors adopting a cautious approach amid mixed signals. While escalating tensions in the Middle East initially drove demand for gold as a safe-haven asset, the appeal was curtailed by the robust U.S. jobs report. The stronger dollar further weighed on gold, given its dollar-denominated nature. Looking ahead, investors will focus on Thursday's U.S. CPI report, which could shape expectations on inflation and, in turn, impact gold prices. Additionally, the release of the Fed's September meeting minutes on Wednesday will provide insight into future policy directions.
Gold prices are trading lower while currently testing the support level. However, MACD has illustrated diminishing bearish momentum, while RSI is at 47, suggesting the commodity might experience technical correction since the RSI rebounded sharply from oversold territory.
Resistance level: 2670.00, 2690.00
Support level: 2645.00, 2630.50
GBP/USD,H4
The Pound Sterling has experienced significant selling pressure recently, largely due to dovish remarks from the Bank of England. Chief Economist Huw Pill suggested on Friday that the BoE should adopt a gradual approach to rate cuts, which followed a 1% drop in the pound after Governor Andrew Bailey hinted at the potential for more aggressive rate reductions.
GBP/USD is trading flat while currently near the support level. However, MACD has illustrated diminishing bearish momentum, while RSI is at 37, suggesting the pair might experience technical correction since the RSI rebounded sharply from oversold territory.
Resistance level: 1.3205, 1.3315
Support level: 1.3065, 1.2940
EUR/USD,H4
The EUR/USD pair continues to face bearish momentum amid a strengthening U.S. Dollar. European Central Bank officials have issued cautious comments, with Vice President Luis de Guindos acknowledging downside risks to Eurozone growth, while Board Member Isabel Schnabel highlighted that achieving the ECB's inflation target remains a challenge given ongoing economic headwinds.
EUR/USD is trading lower while currently testing the support level. However, MACD has illustrated diminishing bearish momentum, while RSI is at 34, suggesting the pair might enter oversold territory.
Resistance level: 1.1015, 1.1080
Support level: 1.1950, 1.0890
