USDIDX - the dollar index continues to weaken, as ECB hawkish outlook weighed on the greenback. Broadly higher risk sentiment across markets comes ahead of the highly expected US CPI report on Tuesday, which is expected to show a slowdown in inflation. However, surprise to the upside could lead to resumption of the main trend as it would support further tightening from the Fed. Nevertheless as long as the current sentiment prevails, the index may be heading towards a major support zone around 106.65, which is marked with lower limit of the 1:1 structure, upward trendline and previous price reactions.
