U.S. Dollar Index (DX) Futures Technical Analysis – In Position to Challenge Main Bottom at 91.290

The U.S. Dollar hit its lowest level since March 18 late in the session on Wednesday as Treasury yields bounced off their intraday highs, holding just below multi-month levels reached earlier in the month. Reduced demand for the safe-haven currency also weighed on the greenback.

At 20:28 GMT, June U.S. Dollar Index futures are trading 92.645, down 0.200 or -0.22%.

In other news, the U.S. economy grew faster in the early spring and more companies sought to hire new workers, a Federal Reserve survey showed, but inflation also picked up and companies faced an array of shortages that are hindering production.
