USD/CNH: May have enough momentum for USD to rise to 7.2820 – UOB Group
US Dollar (USD) is expected to trade in a 7.2540/7.2700 range vs Chinese Yuan (CNH). In the longer run, there appears to be enough momentum for USD to rise to 7.2820, UOB Group’s FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note.
Below 7.2450, the current upward pressure is set to ease
24-HOUR VIEW: "Yesterday, USD traded in a subdued manner between 7.2610 and 7.2715 before closing little changed at 7.2664 (+0.05%). The price action provides no fresh clues. Today, we expect USD to trade in a 7.2540/7.2700 range."
1-3 WEEKS VIEW: "After rising for a few days in a row, the advance in USD slowed yesterday as it closed largely unchanged at 7.2664 (+0.05%). However, USD appears to have enough momentum to rise further to 7.2820. On the downside, a breach of 7.2450 would mean that the current upward pressure has eased."
