 US Dollar Price Forecast: PCE Test Looms as EUR/USD and GBP/USD Hold Firm


The US Dollar (USD) is holding relatively steady as traders await the latest US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation data, a key report that could influence expectations for the Federal Reserve’s September policy decision.


The PCE inflation report is expected to provide fresh clues about the direction of US interest rates. A stronger-than-expected reading could support the Dollar by reinforcing expectations for a more restrictive Federal Reserve stance, while softer inflation could increase expectations for easier policy and weigh on the greenback.


The US Dollar Index (DXY) remains under pressure from a technical perspective. Recent market analysis places resistance around 99.41, while a break below 98.57 could strengthen the bearish outlook.


Meanwhile, EUR/USD and GBP/USD are holding firm. The Euro continues to receive support from relatively firm European Central Bank policy expectations, while Sterling remains supported by resilient UK growth and inflation despite uncertainty surrounding the labour market.


Market Outlook


The upcoming PCE inflation data could be a major catalyst for the US Dollar and major currency pairs. Traders will also monitor Federal Reserve commentary and broader Treasury-market developments for confirmation of the next directional move.


A hotter-than-expected PCE reading could strengthen the USD and put pressure on EUR/USD and GBP/USD. Conversely, weaker inflation data could further undermine the Dollar and support the two major pairs.
