US Dollar Index bias flipped 16 times to neutral on August 5, 2026
The US Dollar Index is hovering below 100.00 as traders await fresh US data, with softer jobs figures and a drop in oil prices weighing on the currency. At the same time, lingering Middle East uncertainty and expectations of a hawkish Federal Reserve are helping the dollar hold gains, keeping its moves rangebound. Market focus remains on upcoming US releases for direction.
