The uptrend is due to technical factors, while the positions of the US currency remain quite strong amid the expectations of market participants regarding further steps by the US Federal Reserve to tighten monetary policy.

The market is looking for hints of a continuation of the aggressive 75 basis points hike in interest rates as the national economy shows stability, and the inflation rate, according to July data, fell from record highs.

Today, investors will be focused on the data from the US on the level of business activity and New Home Sales in July. New Zealand, in turn, will publish statistics on Retail Sales for the second quarter on Thursday.
