Whilst the market reaction to this data point is usually pretty muted, the Retail Sales Control Group, which represents the total industry sales that are used to prepare the estimates of the Personal Consumption Expenditures for most goods, may elicit a response.

To summarize, the dollar is struggling to find demand as this week's developments suggest that the Fed could afford to stay patient when it comes to policy tightening and the Retail Sales report by itself is unlikely to change that.DXY could fall further before becoming technically oversold, according to the Relative Strength Index indicator which is holding above 30 on the daily. The index is staying below the six-month-old ascending trendline, confirming the bearish bias.

In case the index stages a technical correction, it could meet first resistance at 95.20 before returning to 96.00 .
