Trading volatility: DXY on US Q1 GDP
With the US economy seemingly able to cope with relatively high US interest rates there’s the potential for this coming week's US GDP reading for Q1 to be strong.
If this comes to pass there will inevitably be a long trade to be had around the US dollar. IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor looks at likely levels which may be key. The data is out on Thursday 25 April.

U.S. GDP data
Anticipation of strong U.S. GDP data for the first quarter, expected to affirm the resilience of the U.S. economy amid high interest rates. This optimism is reflected in the forecast of the U.S. dollar's strength, particularly noted in the dollar basket's potential movement.
Traders are advised to watch for a break above 106.19 in the dollar basket, suggesting a move to 106.98 on a robust GDP outcome. This analysis is tied to expectations that the Federal Reserve may maintain its hawkish stance on interest rates to combat inflation, impacting dollar positions and providing key insights for financial enthusiasts interested in currency markets and economic indicators.
