The initial optimism over the United States having less to lose from trade tensions seems to be wearing off, and this remains one of the factors behind the Dollar\u2019s depreciation. If trade disputes result in slower US economic growth, King Dollar could easily lose its safe-haven status, consequently resulting in further downside.<\/p>\n<p>In regards to the technical picture, the Dollar Index turned bearish on the daily charts after prices tumbled below the 94.00 support level. The classical head and shoulders formation on the daily charts suggest that bears are back in town with the 93.50 acting as the first level of interest.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.forextime.com\/images\/maa\/_dxydaily_115.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While the argument for bulls to make a return could be based on the Fed raising interest rates next week, the hike has already been heavily priced in. The Dollar Index remains at threat of sinking towards 93.00 if the central bank expresses concernS over trade tensions impacting growth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em><strong>Disclaimer:\u00a0<\/strong>The content in this article comprises personal opinions and should not be construed as containing personal and\/or other investment advice and\/or an offer of and\/or solicitation for any transactions in financial instruments and\/or a guarantee and\/or prediction of future performance.
