The dollar index (DXY) closed at 100.660, continuing its recovery from the recent low of 99.845. The index gained 0.19% in today\u2019s session, marking its second consecutive day of upward movement, driven by the market&#8217;s recalibration of expectations regarding the U.S. Federal Reserve&#8217;s rate cut strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MACD indicator reflects growing bullish momentum, with the MACD line crossing above the signal line, and the histogram expanding in positive territory.

A break above this could signal further gains towards the next target at 101.00. However, key support is located at 100.20, and a breach of this level might trigger a retracement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Smaller Rate Cuts Ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Powell\u2019s comments at the Tennessee conference came amid growing speculation on how the Fed would move forward with rate cuts. He clarified that the Fed would likely continue with smaller, quarter-percentage-point cuts, cautioning that rapid easing could misalign with the economic outlook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Jenniferisms?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@jenniferisms<\/a> recaps Fed Chair Powell\u2019s remarks at the National Association for Business Economics in Nashville, TN, ahead of key jobs data: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BOtVuSgNqp\">pic.twitter.com\/BOtVuSgNqp<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Yahoo Finance (@YahooFinance) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/YahooFinance\/status\/1840832145838747845?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 30, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traders have revised their expectations, lowering the likelihood of a 50 bps cut from 53.3% to 35.4%, according to CME Group\u2019s FedWatch Tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the next policy-setting meeting approaching in November, the dollar&#8217;s trajectory could be influenced by key economic reports set to be released this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the currency market, the yen has steadied after experiencing a volatile start to the week.
