This reduced the probability of Trump\u2019s impeachment and had a positive impact on the US dollar. Will the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ifcmarkets.com\/en\/trading-conditions\/forex\/nzdusd\">US dollar index<\/a> continue to grow?<\/p>\n<p>The day before the Senate hearings on the violations during the last election of the US President, the dollar index updated the 7 \u2013 month low. The opponents of Donald Trump accused him of violations and threatened with impeachment. After the statement of the former FBI director, political risks decreased and the expectations of investors, the Fed rate cut at the next meeting on June 14, 2017, came to the fore. According to interest rate futures prices, the probability of such an event is estimated by the market almost in 90%. An additional positive factor for the US dollar index was the weakening of the British pound after the results of the parliamentary elections in the UK. The Conservative Party, led by the current Prime Minister Theresa May, lost the majority in the House of Commons. Investors consider this as a political crisis in the country. Now negotiations on the conditions for Britain&#8217;s exit from the European Union may become significantly complicated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ifcmarkets.com\/uploads\/images\/05-06-2017.png\" alt=\"USDIDX\" width=\"660px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"emailSummary\">On the daily timeframe, <b>USDIDX: D1<\/b> is trying to leave the downtrend to move upwards.

After opening the pending order, we shall move the stop to the next fractal low following the Bollinger and Parabolic signals. Thus, we are changing the potential profit\/loss to the breakeven point. More risk-averse traders may switch to the 4-hour chart after the trade and place there a stop-loss moving it in the direction of the trade. If the price meets the stop level 96.46 without reaching the order at 97.77, we recommend cancelling the position: the market sustains internal changes that were not taken into account.<\/p><div id=\"inves-2858903762\" class=\"inves-in-content inves-entity-placement\"><hr style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n<div id=\"inpost_ads_header\">\r\n<p style=\"font-size:10px; float:left; color:#666;\">Free Reports:<\/p><\/div>\r\n<div id=\"inpost_ads\"> \r\n<p style=\"font-size:15px; float:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/1ApBOV\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/investmacro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/graph_techs_PD.png\" align=\"left\" width=\"80\"  height=\"55\"\/><\/a>\r\n\t     <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/1ApBOV\"><b><u>Get Our Free Metatrader 4 Indicators<\/u><\/b><\/a> - Put Our Free MetaTrader 4 Custom Indicators on your charts when you join our Weekly Newsletter<\/p><br><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<p style=\"font-size:15px; float:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/f3RrHX\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/investmacro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cot_pie_80.png\" align=\"left\" width=\"80\"  height=\"55\"\/><\/a>\r\n\t    <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/f3RrHX\"><b><u>Get our Weekly Commitment of Traders Reports<\/u><\/b><\/a> - See where the biggest traders (Hedge Funds and Commercial Hedgers) are positioned in the futures markets on a weekly basis.<\/p><br><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<hr style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n<br><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"emailSummary\" style=\"margin-top: 15px !important;\">Summary of technical analysis<\/h2>\n<table style=\"border: solid 1px black;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><b>Position<\/b><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">Buy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><b>Buy stop<\/b><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">Above 97,77<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><b>Stop loss<\/b><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">Below 96,46<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Market Analysis provided by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ifcmarkets.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IFCMarkets<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By IFCMarkets Investors expect the Fed rate hike The result of the former FBI director James Comey\u2019s testimony was the preliminary opinion of American lawyers that the US President Donald Trump had not violated the legislation during his dismissal.
