HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — To support the investor community in enhancing their intermarket analysis capabilities, global broker JustMarkets has released an in-depth research piece on the cyclical fluctuations of the US Dollar (USD). The report offers a multi-dimensional perspective on how the USD impacts various CFD asset classes, helping traders identify and effectively execute parallel trading opportunities.

What Drives the Strength of the US Dollar

As the primary global reserve currency, the US Dollar dominates international finance. Its fluctuations extend far beyond forex, swiftly impacting commodities, stock indices, capital flows, and investor risk appetite. According to JustMarkets‘ analysis, the key factors determining the strength and expansion/contraction cycles of the USD include:

First, the stance of the Federal Reserve plays an important role. An expectation of tighter US monetary policy and higher interest rates is likely to increase the demand for the US dollar.Secondly, safe-haven flows of money play an important role. Investors tend to invest in dollars when there are high tensions in geopolitics or risk appetite falls.Thirdly, growth differentials matter. The perception of the US economy being healthier than that of other countries can lead to the expectation of a relatively more hawkish stance of the Fed against an easier stance of other central banks.

Why traders watch DXY

DXY is the name of the US Dollar Index. Even though this index usually is not used to generate any signals for trading directly, it may give some hints about how USD behaves overall.

If the DXY is growing, then there is usually increased demand for the dollar. It can make the pairs like EUR/USD and GBP/USD fall in value, USD/JPY rise, and have an impact on commodity markets. The decline of the index can potentially have the opposite effect.

Impact on major currency pairs

The strength of the dollar impacts major FX pairs. The EUR/USD and GBP/USD tend to fall when there is an increase in the demand for the dollar. The USD/JPY can appreciate if the strength of the dollar is due to strong US yields; however, the flow into JPY due to safety concerns can make things more complicated.

Commodity-related currencies might also have a reaction. In the case of the dollar gaining strength due to risk-off conditions, commodity-related currencies could come under pressure.

Impact on commodities

The strong dollar can exert pressure on commodities, since most international commodities have been priced in US dollars. As the dollar appreciates, commodities could become relatively expensive for those who pay in foreign currencies.

Gold contracts tend to be particularly vulnerable to dollar strength and high interest rates. The appreciation of the dollar and interest rate hikes could affect the gold price, whereas the dollar depreciation could favor the precious metal.

CFD opportunities across markets

The dollar cycle can generate trades for CFDs in forex, commodities, indices, shares, and cryptocurrency marketplaces. Via the use of JustMarkets, traders can keep track and trade in the CFD markets from one single platform, thus comparing correlations and responding to changes. For instance, a stronger dollar and declining gold and indices can imply that there is a general risk-off scenario.

Turning USD movements into market insight

For traders, watching DXY and its market reactions may assist in finding other CFD trades. Sometimes some of the important clues can be found when all three market groups tell the same story.

Risk warning: Trading CFDs involves a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. CFDs are leveraged products and can result in rapid financial loss.

The QKS Group SPARK Matrix™ provides competitive analysis & ranking of the leading DDoS Mitigation vendors.Radware, with its comprehensive platform, received strong ratings across technology excellence and customer impact.

PUNE, India, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — QKS Group announced today that it has named Radware, a global leader in AI and application security and delivery solutions for multi-cloud environments, as a leader in the SPARK Matrix™: Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Mitigation, 2026.

Lokesh Biswal, Analyst at QKS Group, states, “Radware is a compelling leader in hybrid DDoS mitigation and application security, distinguished by its behavioral detection engine, integrated cloud and appliance architecture, and strong managed response capabilities. The company is well positioned for large enterprises and service providers that need low-false-positive protection, rapid attack response, and unified control across network and application layers.”

QKS Group defines DDoS Mitigation as a set of tools and techniques that secure websites, applications, networks, servers, and IP addresses by deflecting various types of DDoS attacks including volume-based, protocol, and application-layer attacks from the network connected to the internet. DDoS mitigation platforms detect and absorb attack traffic, enforce rate controls, and redirect malicious flows away from protected resources through a combination of behavioural analytics, threat intelligence, and automated countermeasure deployment operating across multiple network and application layers.

Radware differentiates in DDoS mitigation by combining patented behavioral detection, hybrid on-prem and cloud deployment options, and managed expert support into one operating model, rather than relying on a single scrubbing layer or a purely signature-based approach. That matters because it lets Radware identify unknown or fast-changing attacks in real time, distinguish legitimate traffic spikes from true DDoS events, and escalate protection from inline appliances to cloud scrubbing when attack volume exceeds local capacity. Its behavioral engine is a core differentiator because it analyzes traffic patterns instead of depending only on known signatures, which helps it detect zero-day and multi-vector attacks earlier and with fewer false positives. In practical terms, that can be especially valuable during flash crowds, encrypted web floods, and bursty application-layer attacks where static rules often struggle.

The QKS Group SPARK Matrix™ includes a detailed analysis of the global market dynamics, major trends, vendor landscape, and competitive positioning. The study provides a competitive analysis and ranking of the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Mitigation, 2026 providers in the form of the SPARK Matrix™. It also provides strategic information for users to evaluate different vendor capabilities, competitive differentiation, and market positions.

“We’re honored to be recognized as a Leader in the QKS Group SPARK Matrix for DDoS Mitigation,” said Connie Stack, Chief Growth Officer at Radware. “As AI transforms the threat landscape, organizations need protection that can adapt in real time to increasingly sophisticated and automated attacks. We believe this recognition reflects our continued innovation and commitment to helping customers build resilience against the most advanced DDoS threats.”

The QKS Group SPARK Matrix™ provides competitive analysis & ranking of the leading DDoS Mitigation vendors. Corero Network Security, with its comprehensive platform, has received strong ratings across technology excellence and customer impact.

PUNE, India, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — QKS Group announced today that it has named as a leader in the SPARK Matrix™: Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Mitigation, 2026.

Lokesh Biswal, Analyst at QKS Group, states, “Corero Network Security is carving out a distinct position in DDoS mitigation by treating service availability as a real‑time, inline problem rather than a bulk scrubbing exercise. SmartWall ONE combines high‑capacity packet inspection with behavior‑based protection to stop zero‑day and multi‑vector attacks at the edge, while its hybrid integrations with providers like Akamai extend that resilience to cloud scale.”

QKS Group defines DDoS Mitigation as a set of tools and techniques that secure websites, applications, networks, servers, and IP addresses by deflecting various types of DDoS attacks including volume-based, protocol, and application-layer attacks from the network connected to the internet. DDoS mitigation platforms detect and absorb attack traffic, enforce rate controls, and redirect malicious flows away from protected resources through a combination of behavioral analytics, threat intelligence, and automated countermeasure deployment operating across multiple network and application layers.

Corero Network Security differentiates in DDoS mitigation by being a true inline, always‑on packet‑inspection platform rather than a detect‑and‑divert or purely cloud‑scrubbing service, inspecting every packet at line rate from layer 3-7 with sub‑second response and ultra‑low latency. That matters because attacks are stopped directly in the network path before traffic is diverted or customers feel degradation, giving telcos, ISPs, hosting providers and enterprises ‘business continuity’ protection that is explicitly designed for environments where downtime is not an option.

The QKS Group SPARK Matrix™ includes a detailed analysis of the global market dynamics, major trends, vendor landscape, and competitive positioning. The study also provides a competitive analysis and ranking of the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Mitigation, 2026 providers in the form of the SPARK Matrix™. The study also provides strategic information for users to evaluate different vendor capabilities, competitive differentiation, and market positions.

“Customers today expect more than protection, they expect confidence that their services will stay online no matter what,” said Carl Herberger, CEO at Corero Network Security. “Being named a Leader and the only Emerging Innovator in QKS Group’s SPARK Matrix™ reflects the trust our customers place in SmartWall ONE and CORE every day. We’re proud of this recognition, and we remain focused on delivering the real-time protection organizations need to stay resilient.”
