US Dollar (DXY) Daily Price and Analysis US Q1 GDP may stall the greenback’s advance. A 20-year high nears for the US dollar. The multi-month US dollar rally continues with the greenback printing a fresh high today ahead of the first look at US Q1 GDP at 12.30 GMT. The US dollar basket (DXY) has been boosted by renewed weakness in the Euro and the Japanese Yen, as investors move from lower-yielding to higher-yielding currencies, while safe-haven flows continue to benefit the greenback. The US growth release later in the session is expected to show a sharp slowdown from the robust Q4 figure of 6.9%. The markets are currently pricing in growth of just 1% for the first three months of this year, with the slowdown mainly due to a reduction in inventory accrual over the quarter. This release is unlikely to move the greenback, unless there is a large miss or beat, as the Fed believe that 2022 US growth will be robust enough to let them tighten monetary policy sharply without damaging the economy. The latest US Core PCE data – the Fed’s preferred inflation reading – is released on Friday and this may have more effect on the US dollar than today’s GDP data. For all market moving economic data and events, see the DailyFX Calendar. The ongoing US dollar rally has been aided by weakness across a range of G7 currencies including the Euro, the Japanese Yen, and the British Pound. The Euro continues to battle with lowly growth expectations, exacerbated by energy concerns, the British Pound is mired by weak economic data, while the Japanese Yen is in freefall as the BoJ continues with its ultra-loose monetary policy. The US dollar continues to press higher and looks set to break above 103.96, the March 2020 high. Above here the US dollar would be back at levels last seen nearly two decades ago. The March resistance will likely hold in the short-term, especially with month-end portfolio rebalancing at the end of the week, but US dollar strength is set to continue in the months ahead.

Question

Hello
Hopefully this is an easy question that someone knows the answer to.
I am trying to replicate the ATR calculation in the IG app but I am struggling a bit. Based on OHLC data, I can replicate the TR for a given set of dates i.e. ATR(1), however I cannot replicate ATR(2) and wondered if anyone knew how this was calculated by IG. I am looking at ATR(2) as ultimately I will be coding up ATR(14) but I want to make sure I understand this first!
As an example, based on AUD/USD for 21/09/20 (simply as that's the data I am working on), I see the following:
In this screen dump:
- forex data in the first 5 columns
- TR = True Range and equals =MAX(ABS(current high - previous close), ABS(current low - previous close), current high - current low)
- IG-TR = data taken from IG calculated values from mobile app for ATR(1), differences I presume are due to rounding in OHLC data. Therefore I know that my calculation of TR agrees to IG.
- ATR_2 = AVERAGE (current TR, previous TR) - I believe this is the technically correct interpretation of ATR for period 2, please correct me if I am wrong. It is quite different to IG's numbers (IG_ATR_2)
- ATR_2 _alternative = AVERAGE(current TR, AVERAGE(previous TR, previous -1 TR)) - this gets much closer to "IG_ATR_2", however I am not convinced that this is correct - do you agree?
- IG_ATR_2 = data taken from IG calculated values from mobile app for ATR(2). I can see that the dps are at least 5 significant figures, which surprises me on a period of 2! Are these rolled forward time period to time period?
Hopefully someone can help and apologies if this doesn't make any sense.
Best wishes
Richard
