DXY gains further traction and surpasses 93.00 on Tuesday. Higher US yields underpins the rally in the greenback. US housing data, Consumer Confidence, Fedspeak next on tap. The greenback pushes higher and lifts the US Dollar Index (DXY) to new yearly tops in the area above 93.00 the figure.

Biden’s plan to boost the infrastructure adds to the recently passed $1.9 trillion fiscal stimulus bill, all morphing into further speculations of higher inflation in the coming months. This, plus the US economy outperformance (vs. its overseas peers) narrative bolster further the current constructive stance in the buck. Later in the US data space, FHFA’s House Price Index is due along with the S&P/Case-Shiller Index and the Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence gauge for the month of March.

What to look for around USD The upside momentum in the dollar looks well and sound and the index already trade above 93.00 yardstick, or new YTD tops. Supporting this idea, the recent breakout of the 200-day SMA seems to bolster the now constructive view on the buck, at least in the near-term. In addition, the recently approved fiscal stimulus package adds to the ongoing outperformance of the US economy narrative as well as the investors’ perception of higher inflation in the next months, all morphing into extra oxygen for the buck. However, the mega-accommodative stance from the Fed (until “substantial further progress” in inflation and employment is made) and hopes of a strong global economic recovery (now postponed to later in the year) remain a source of support for the risk complex and carry the potential to curtail the upside momentum in the dollar in the longer run.
