USDX (USD Index)

The weakness of the U.S dollar index continues today after the bearish close yesterday. The index might continue under pressure as positivism on U.S-China trade negotiations spread across the market. However, the actual movement will depend on the result of the negotiation. If the index continues its weakness then we could expect it will test 98.25.
