As the currency of first reserve and with the US election now on the horizon, the US dollar is likely to take centre stage for the next few weeks. This week alone there are eighteen speakers from the FED giving their own views and with the recent death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, this has certainly stirred up the contest for the White House. From a technical perspective, the US dollar has been in decline for some time and well off the highs of May at over 100. However, the congestion phase now building on the daily chart between 92 and 94 is developing into a potential platform for a strong reversal in due course and potential to return to this level once more, which will be damaging for risk assets such as US equities.
