0235 GMT - The U.S. Dollar Index's bearish momentum has returned with the index below the 200-day exponential moving average, based on daily chart, StoneX's Matt Simpson says in commentary. The index appears to be probing the 200-day simple moving average, which suggests any bounce is unlikely to be "clean or impulsive," the senior market analyst says. The key question is whether the index undergoes a "grinding, corrective" rally toward resistance at 98.96 to form a swing high or stage a break below high-volume node at 97.36, Simpson adds. The U.S. Dollar Index is little changed at 98.119, LSEG data show. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
