US Dollar Index

The US dollar index futures gapped above the 50-day moving average on Monday and was able to post a higher high and higher low on Tuesday, somewhat confirming the breakout. A close above 105.64 could likely lead to a test of the May 1 high at 106.38. Traders are expecting the Federal Reserve Board to leave short-term interest rates steady at the conclusion of their meeting today.
