Since the likelihood of a major rate hike by the Federal Reserve increased, the DXY has exhibited a clear reversal after falling below the psychological support level of 100.00. (Fed). After declaring that investors should brace for a half-percent rate hike in May's monetary policy, Fed chair Jerome Powell's speech boosted the likelihood of a 50 bps interest rate hike.

The arrival of Fed’s Powell at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) produced a significant reversal in the DXY as Powell repeated that the tight labor market and increasing inflation are driving the Fed to move faster to the neutral rates than to the pace adopted in past raise cycles. Current pricing pressures are damaging the economy, making it difficult for the Federal Reserve System (Fed) to reduce the CPI (Consumer Price Index) down to the targeted 2 percent level.
