As April closes, the USD may find short-term support from month-end portfolio rebalancing, firm US yields, higher oil prices, and political uncertainty.
The dollar has recently traded near the 98.3–98.5 DXY zone, while the US 10-year yield remains around 4.32%-4.33%. This keeps USD downside limited, especially if global portfolios need to adjust hedges and rebalance exposure into the month-end fix.
Key drivers to watch:
📌 Rebalancing flows — potential tactical USD demand near London and New York fixing windows.
📌 USD/JPY — could stay supported if equity and hedge adjustments favor dollar buying versus the yen.
📌 Oil risk — Brent above $100 adds pressure on oil-importing currencies and supports defensive USD demand.
📌 Politics — US policy uncertainty, tariff risks, and Middle East tensions may increase volatility.
Forecast view: month-end flows can create a temporary USD bid, but this looks more like flow-driven support than a confirmed broader bullish reversal. Fast moves and reversals remain possible.
