Polish central bank monetary policy committee member Dabrowski: The possibility of a rate cut in Poland is slightly higher than a rate hike.

If all goes according to plan, this 407-foot-tall rocket will one day be used to build an orbital network of artificial intelligence data centers and send humans to the Moon and Mars. But first, the company plans to use Starship to launch a new and improved batch of Starlink satellites—its cash cow. SpaceX plans to launch its first V3 satellites into orbit in a key Starship test flight as early as next week. Getting Starship operational as envisioned is crucial for SpaceX and its shareholders. The company needs Starship not only to revitalize its own Starlink communications network—which contributed nearly 55% of the companys revenue in the second quarter—but also to launch satellites for a range of commercial purposes. Then, perhaps its most lucrative mission: launching a futuristic orbital data center into space, which SpaceX says could help tap into the $26.5 trillion artificial intelligence market.On September 11, White House National Economic Council Director Hassett downplayed concerns that President Trumps proposal to send $5,000 checks to every American adult would exacerbate concerns about the governments historically high borrowing levels. "We can do this in a fiscally responsible way. Its a serious proposal," Hassett said. He argued, "Because of all the growth and wealth created in America, the president believes we need to return more wealth to the American people. One way is through a reconciliation bill—a legislative mechanism that the House and Senate majority can use for fiscal packages, bypassing the need for an opposition vote." When pressed on what offsetting measures might be paired with these checks—which would add more than $1 trillion to the federal debt burden at a record high—Hassett said it would have to be "negotiated with Congress." Analysts are skeptical about the feasibility of the $5,000 payment, following a lukewarm response from top Republican members of the House and Senate to the idea.

The Dollar Index's Top-to-Bottom Reversal Indicates a Potential Momentum Shift

On Friday, the US Dollar fell versus a basket of foreign currencies after gaining more than 100 points for the first time in over two years. It reached a high of 100.20 during the session, its highest level since May 2020.

 

Despite the fact that it formed a potentially bearish closing price reversal top, it ended the week up 1.3 percent. Throughout the week, the dollar index was mostly supported by a rise in US Treasury yields and a weaker Euro.

 

The June US Dollar Index closed at 99.753 on Friday, down 0.007 or -0.01 percent. The Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund ETF (UUP) closed at $26.68, an increase of $0.01 or 0.02%.

 

On Friday, the US Treasury 10-year yield surpassed 2.7 percent for the first time in three years, aided by the likelihood of more aggressive Federal Reserve tightening. Additionally, this week's release of the Fed's March meeting minutes revealed that "many" members were prepared to raise rates in future months in 50-basis-point increments.

 

In other news, the Euro was under pressure as the election battle between President Emmanuel Macron and far-right contender Marine Le Pen tightened in France, the Euro Zone's second-largest economy. Macron continues to lead polls.

Technical Analysis of the Daily Swing Chart

According to the daily swing chart, the primary trend is upward. However, Friday's closing price reversal top implies that momentum is about to move downward.

 

A move above 99.745 will confirm the price reversal top at the close. This could initiate a 2-3 day adjustment. A break of 100.200 will invalidate the chart pattern and suggest the resumed uptrend. The primary trend will revert to the downside upon a break of 97.730.

 

Minor values range from 97.730 to 100.200. The nearest support level is at its 50% level, or pivot, of 98.965.

 

The critical support level is the long-term Fibonacci retracement level around 98.200.

Scenario of the Bear

Persistent movement below 99.975 indicates the existence of sellers. Taking out 99.745 will confirm the price reversal top at the close. If this generates sufficient downside momentum, expect the selling to extend towards the minor pivot at 98.965.

Scenario of Bullishness

Sustaining a move over 99.975 indicates the presence of buyers. The initial objective on the upside is 100.200.

 

If 100.200 is breached, the closing price reversal top will be invalidated, signaling the resumption of the uptrend. If buying is sufficiently strong, we may see an acceleration to the upside, with the next big objective of 100.560 – 100.930.
