Beyond the CPI report, it will be wise to keep an eye on other US data and speeches by numerous Fed officials which could provide more clues on the Fed’s policy path.
Taking a look at the charts, the USDInd is firmly bullish on the daily charts with prices hitting a fresh two month high. The index has gained roughly 2% since the start of October, taking its YTD gains to 1.6%.

Since securing a solid close above 101.94, bulls have their eyes on the 100-day SMA at 103.30. However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is signalling that prices are near overbought territory.
