US Dollar attention to US data

The index is now struggling for direction after a negative start of the session, although it so far manages well to keep the trade above the critical barrier at 93.00 the figure.

USD remains cautious as the Senate-sponsored tax reform bill is expected to pass later in the day, paving the way for a potential implementation by year-end, as promised by President Trump.

DXY saw its upside renewed on Wednesday following a sharp rebound in yields of the US 10-year benchmark to the boundaries of the critical 2.40% up barrier, all in response to better-than-expected US GDP figures for the third quarter.

In the US data space, initial claims are next on tap seconded by personal income/spending and inflation figures gauges by the PCE. In addition, Dallas Fed R.Kaplan (voter, hawkish) is also due to speak.
