September 16th: USD Markets Breakdown

The EURUSD pair is showing strength, trading near its daily high after climbing above key support levels. Technical indicators suggest the pair has potential for more gains, though momentum is somewhat mixed. The Federal Reserve is expected to announce an interest rate cut this week, which is contributing to the weakness of the US Dollar. Meanwhile, the Japanese Yen also strengthened, adding to pressure on the Dollar as central banks prepare for their respective rate decisions. The Eurozone's trade surplus came in lower than the previous month, while strong US manufacturing data did little to lift the Dollar's mood.
