Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index stabilized above 105.20 and targets a new high.

The euro rose 0.13% to $1.0435, gaining support after Bundesbank chief Joachim Nagel said the very accommodative stance of the European Central Bank (ECB) would “swiftly be abandoned” and a restrictive policy stance might be needed to achieve the inflation target. The policy outlook may not sustain the euro longer term, National Australia Bank markets economist Tapas Strickland said in a note.
The Euro pair drops to a new 20 years low and hinders any sign of recovery. The overall direction remains strong selling trend reaching below 1.03500.

Oil was up over supply tightness concerns as a strike in Norway threatened to disrupt oil and gas output.

Brent oil futures rose 0.23% to $113.7 and WTI futures jumped 1.86% to $110.46.
Technically:
On the hourly chart, WTI prices show a decrease in volume traded due to the worries about the global growth and consumption. However, the daily chart confirms the high probability of the decline and targets $98 a barrel before any serious gains happen.
