$USD(USDindex.FX)$ (4 Hour Chart) -[BEARISH ↘ **]Drop in progress on the DXY. As long as price continues to hold below 105.500 resistance, a further drop lower towards 104.690 is expected.

US equity markets continued pushing higher last night led by tech counters such as $NVIDIA(NVDA.US)$ , $Micron Technology(MU.US)$ and $Super Micro Computer(SMCI.US)$ that climbed more than 3%. US $E-mini S&P 500 Futures(SEP4)(ESmain.US)$ and $E-mini NASDAQ 100 Futures(SEP4)(NQmain.US)$ added +0.27% and +0.11% last night. The demand for US 20-year treasury notes during last night's auction also saw an uptake in demand, bringing longer term yields down to 4.45% showing that investors are now having stronger confidence in the longer term growth of the US economy.

Asian markets rallied across the board as well, closely tracking the overnight bullish sentiment from the US markets. $HSI Futures(JUL4)(HSImain.HK)$ rose the most this morning with +1.61% with the finance and energy sectors contributing the most to the climb. Further, strong consumer demand during the 618 sales is expected to add to the profitability of retail companies. $Nikkei 225(.N225.JP)$ climbed by +0.68% as well as minutes released by the BoJ this morning showing that consumption is expected to increase moderately along with companies possibly becoming more active in raising both prices and wages than initially expected. $FTSE Singapore Straits Time Index(.STI.SG)$ edged higher by +0.36% bringing a small pause to the recent bearish sentiment.
