- The USD reached the highest level since January 2018. However, could not stick at new highs and slightly fell. The US dollar index is still at a good level near $90.70. CB Consumer Confidence will be released today. A forecast is negative. If an actual data is greater than the forecast, the greenback will make new records.

If bulls are able to pull the pair above the MA, the pair will rise to the pivot point at 1.2231. If bears are stronger, EUR/USD will fall further to the support at 1.2172. No crucial data are anticipated today.
- The Australian dollar managed to turn around. A previous trading day was bad for the aussie. The AUD/USD pair plunged to the lowest level since the end of December 2017. The aussie might fall further today as CPI and Trimmed Mean CPI data were not strong. AUD/USD almost reached the support at 0.7574 but rebounded. Bulls should be more active to break the pivot point at 0.7628. There is a high possibility of the return to the support at 0.7574.

Brent hit highs of November 2014, the oil benchmark is above $75; WTI rose as well, the commodity is above $69.
