Good day, traders!

Welcome to this week's edition of our weekly market review, where we share with you some important data and highlight major market events that occurred during the trading week as they relate to DXY, Dow Jones (US30), and the Nasdaq (NAS100).

The DXY opened for the week at 102.747 and there was no high-impact news release on Monday, however, there was enough fodder news for price to make some moves on.

Though there was no news event at the beginning of the week on Monday, Tuesday through Friday was filled with news events that affected the market movement throughout the week. These news events included CPI, Core Retail sales, Unemployment claims and 30yr bond auction.

Price movement this week was more of a unidirectional movement as the DXY reacted erratically to the major news released on Tuesday through Friday.

The Unemployment claims news released on Thursday saw a significant 47 pips bullish move within three hours of its release. However, price retraced a bit and consolidated on Friday.
