- Indices in the US open lower
- The dollar gains 0.55%
- 2-year yields fall, while 10-year yields tick higher
Midweek, US indices are opening lower. The declines are supported by a strengthening dollar, which is rising after testing a key support level. Not much is happening in the markets today, similar to the previous days of this week. Low volatility and the lack of significant macroeconomic releases are leading investors to sell stocks. The key event of the day will likely be the release of Nvidia's quarterly report after the close of trading on Wall Street.
The stock declines are being driven by a strongly gaining dollar. The USDIDX index has recently been under significant downward pressure due to the approaching first interest rate cut in the US. The dollar's decline had a positive effect on stock valuations. However, after reaching its lowest level in many months and testing the lower end of the consolidation channel, the dollar is strongly rebounding today, returning above the 101,0000 point level.

The technology stock index is losing 0.40% at the time of publication, dropping to the 19,550-point level. Investor uncertainty may be supported by the upcoming quarterly report from Nvidia, which recently has been a key driver of the AI sector's bullish trend. The declines in the index follow a test of a significant resistance level around 20,000 points. Therefore, the declines may continue until the next support zone around 19,000 points.
