The U.S dollar index gained slightly against major currencies, on Tuesday morning, as rising commodity currencies paused their bullish momentum, coupled with currency traders awaiting the U.S. Federal Reserve’s next move.

The U.S dollar index gained 0.08% to trade at 96.6980 at 4.30am local time.

The U.S dollar index was supported by last week’s impressive U.S. jobs data for May, catching the financial markets completely off-guard. Also, over the weekend, China’s export data for the month of May was stronger than forecasted.

“Economies are smashed, but not smashed as bad as was expected and I think that’s the key to this whole rally,” Westpac FX analyst Imre Speizer said in a note to Reuters.

The head of global market research at MUFG Bank in Tokyo, Minori Uchida, explained that, “At the moment, hopes for economic recovery are strong, but I expect this to gradually fade to increased concern about the U.S.-China relationship.

“I personally don’t think yield curve control is necessary now, but the dollar is under clear selling pressure.”

However, the World Health Organization recently warned that the COVID-19 pandemic is “far from over,” as a record number of new COVID-19 infections were recorded.

But investors took comfort from cases trending lower in the United States and falling to a fresh low in New York, even as testing has ramped up. 

“If we continue to trend lower … this will go a long way in re-aligning consumer risk assessment about the virus,” said RBC Capital Markets’ Chief U.S. Economist, Tom Porcelli.
