Dollar indexThe dollar index invalidated the critical resistance at 91.00, which has turned the short term trend bullish. Trade strategy While strong inflows are helping the rupee remain steady, the dollar index is clearly indicating that the greenback has turned bullish. less The rupee (INR) witnessed a marginal gain in the past session as it ended at 72.96 versus Monday’s close of 73.02 versus the dollar (USD). But notably, the rupee is steady despite the dollar making some considerable gains in the past few trading sessions.
In a brief statement late Tuesday, Alibaba said it planned to issue dollar debt, including some bonds to fund sustainability-related projects, subject to market conditions. But if the dollar gains become so significant that the rupee weakens from here, it can find support at 73.15 and 73.25. So, the dollar index can be expected to rally from here towards 91.50 and 92.00. Every dollar the price rises inflicts losses on short sellers.

Even in the absence of a formal gold standard, it is regarded by central banks themselves as a superior monetary asset to their own fiat currencies. “Central banks stand ready to lease gold in increasing quantities if the price rises.” Imagine you’re a central banker. If gold is an asset class guaranteed to rise over the longer term, why do we see so much “volatility” with the price?
Price of gold in 1971: $35 per ounce. Price of gold in 2000: $275 per ounce. Investors know that the price of gold will rise dramatically over the long term.
