US Dollar Index Strengthens

The US currency was up versus the common currency as the currency pair of EUR and USD toppled to 1.3363 (0.28 percent).

The pair will possibly earn support at 1.3338 with initial resistance at 1.3422 which is the 20-day exponential moving median.

Meanwhile, the dollar rose against the franc. USD and CHF moved forward 0.41 percent to 0.9061. The dollar remained steady against the Canadian note with USD and CAD dropping 0.08 percent (1.0886). The pair looks forward to support at 1.0864 with resistance at 1.0925.

The US currency was down versus the UK pound sterling with GBP and USD advancing 0.24 percent to 1.6731.

Risk mode was evident in stock markets after continuing talks among foreign ministers of Russia, Germany, France, and the Ukraine. They talked about the involvement of Moscow in providing humanitarian assistance to southeastern Ukraine after soldiers from Ukraine assaulted a convoy from Russia last week.
The news caused the US dollar to plummet as traders opted for safe haven currencies like the Swiss franc and Japanese yen.

Amplified risk craving affected gold which scaled down early this week.

Gold declined $7.50 (1,298.70 per ounce while spot gold plummeted $6.69 ($1,298.01 per ounce).
