DLSM外汇平台：美元指数维持疲软，市场静待美国CPI

Core Viewpoint - The foreign exchange market is currently cautious, with investors focusing on the upcoming U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, following an unexpected decline in the U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) for August, which has strengthened expectations for a potential interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September [1]. USD Analysis - The U.S. Dollar Index is hovering around 97.82, with a slight increase of 0.08% to close at 97.83 on Wednesday, marking a nearly 10% decline year-to-date. Concerns over U.S. fiscal and trade policy uncertainties, along with doubts about the Federal Reserve's independence, continue to suppress the dollar's performance [2]. - Technically, the U.S. Dollar Index is oscillating within the range of 97.253 to 98.834, with significant resistance levels at 98.100 (50-day moving average) and 98.317. The market is expected to maintain this range until the CPI data is released, which is anticipated to be a key catalyst for the dollar's next direction [4]. EUR/USD Analysis - The EUR/USD is trading around 1.1700, remaining stable as the dollar weakens. Fitch Ratings predicts that the Federal Reserve will cut rates by 25 basis points in both September and December, while the European Central Bank is expected to keep rates unchanged with a 93% probability. This divergence in monetary policy supports the euro in a weak dollar environment [5]. - From a technical perspective, the EUR/USD has broken below 1.1700 but found strong support near the 20-day moving average (1.1672) and the 50-day moving average (1.1659). The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has decreased from 60 to 52, indicating a weakening buying momentum [7]. GBP/USD Analysis - The GBP/USD is currently fluctuating around 1.3530, with the market also focused on the U.S. CPI data. The weak PPI data for August has further increased expectations for a rate cut by the Federal Reserve. Market consensus suggests that the headline CPI for August may rise to 2.9%, while the core CPI is expected to remain at 3.1% [7]. - Technically, the GBP/USD is consolidating within the range of 1.3500 to 1.3550, with resistance levels at 1.3550, 1.3590, and 1.3681, and support levels at 1.3500, the 20-day moving average (1.3491), and the 50-day moving average (1.3465). The RSI remains bullish but is trending flat, indicating a potential wait for data release before any breakout [9]. Overall Market Sentiment - The U.S. Dollar Index is maintaining a weak pattern within a consolidation range, with the market having largely priced in expectations for a rate cut by the Federal Reserve. The euro is supported by differing policy expectations, although its momentum is weakening, while the pound is consolidating between key support and resistance levels. The foreign exchange market is likely to see clearer directional movement following the release of the U.S. CPI data [9].
