Comment: The dollar was up on Monday morning in Asia but remained near a one-month low as Treasury yields hovered near their lowest levels in five weeks after the U.S. Federal Reserve reiterated its view that any spike in inflation will be temporary. The U.S. Dollar Index has recently attempted to get to the test of the nearest resistance level at the 50 EMA at 91.80 but failed to develop sufficient upside momentum and pulled back closer to the support at 91.50. A successful test of this support level will push the U.S. Dollar Index towards the next support at 91.30 which will be bullish for GBP/USD.

Futures contracts tied to the Dow slid 80 points while S&P 500 futures traded below the flatline.
