U.S. stocks are heading for a modestly stronger start as investors awaited developments over potential talks between the U.S. and Iran.

Despite mounting geopolitical risks, crude oil prices have declined more than 10% from their monthly highs. Combined with overbought momentum readings on the DXY and dollar pairs, this increases the risk of a near-term reversal.

Gold remains resilient despite a stronger US dollar and hawkish Fed rhetoric, while DXY momentum shows signs of fading near resistance.

Sr. Technical Strategist Michael Boutros highlights the levels that matter on the USD Majors, commodities, and equity indices charts this week.

U.S. stocks have opened higher as Treasury yields retreat and crude oil prices fall to an 11-day low.

U.S. stocks are heading higher, extending yesterday's post-Fed bounce, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq leading the way as falling oil prices help ease inflation concerns.

The USD broke out after the rate hike announcement but perhaps the bigger question to USD trends is what the Bank of Japan does later tonight.

U.S. stocks have opened higher, following a two-day slide, as lower oil prices and falling Treasury yields have brought some relief after the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision.

The euro has started to face a more challenging period in the short term. The EUR/USD pair has already declined by nearly 0.81% over the last four trading sessions, a move that has begun to reinforce a meaningful bearish bias in favor of the U.S. dollar.

U.S. Stocks have opened lower on Tuesday as rising oil prices and elevated Treasury yields dampen demand for equities ahead of tomorrow's FOMC rate decision.

Gold and silver are feeling the full force of surging US yields, but the dollar’s failure to join in may be saving them from an absolute drubbing.

From 1994 and 1999 through to the dollar surge of 2022, history shows Fed tightening has produced very different outcomes for DXY.
