USD has declined against all major currencies and EM currencies previous week. Downside may be limited and it is expected to take support in the near term as markets already priced in a somewhat gloomy outlook for the US economy.

- The major events to be watched this are FOMC Minutes, U.S Industrial production on Wednesday and CPI data on Friday.
- Fed Chairman testified before Congress on previous Wednesday that U.S economy has been hurt by strong dollar, sinking stocks and weaker Yuan is a big concern for global trade. Jannet Yellen also stated that "I do not expect that the FOMC is going to be soon in the situation where it is necessary to cut rates,"
- The IP is expected to increase 0.4% during January, in line with market expectations. The core CPI will likely print 2.0% y/y, marginally below market expectations of 2.1%. Headline inflation will continue being driven by USD strength and low commodity prices staying around 1.2% y/y (consensus: 1.3%).
