US Dollar index has shown a minor sell-off from a high of 91.43. The index hits an intraday low of 91 and is currently trading around 91.02. The number of private-sector jobs rose to 742000 in Apr compared to a forecast of 872K. The US ISM services PMI came at 62.7% in Apr slightly below the estimate of 64.2. The dollar index surged sharply from a low of 90.42 on upbeat US economic data and hopes of a rate hike by the Fed. The slight decline in US bond yields is putting pressure on the US dollar index at higher levels.

The near-term resistance is around 91.47 (200-4H EMA), convincing close above confirms minor bullishness.  A jump to 91.87/92.44 is possible.

On the lower side, immediate support stands at 90.85, any indicative break below will take the index to 90.40/90/89.79.
