USD/CNH: Scope for USD to drop below 7.2600 – UOB Group

Source Fxstreet

Scope for US Dollar (USD) to drop below 7.2600, but it might not be able to maintain a foothold below this level, UOB Group FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann note.

A break below 7.2600 may lead to 7.2400

24-HOUR VIEW: “Yesterday, we indicated that USD could rise to 7.2990 before the risk of a pullback increases. However, USD plummeted from a high of 7.2909, reaching a low of 7.2611. While the sharp and swift drop appears to be running ahead of itself, there is scope for USD to drop below 7.2600. However, oversold conditions suggest it might not be able to maintain a foothold below this level. The next support at 7.2500 is unlikely to come into view. Should USD break above 7.2800 (minor resistance is at 7.2745), it would mean that it is not declining further.”

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “Last Friday (12 Jul, spot at 7.2685), we indicated that USD ‘is likely to trade with a downward bias towards 7.2400, as long as it remains below 7.2910.’ After USD rose to 7.2924, we highlighted yesterday (17 Jul, spot at 7.2900) that ‘downward momentum has faded, but while upward momentum has increased slightly, it is not enough to suggest a sustained advance.’ We expected USD to trade in a 7.2600/7.3100 range. We did not anticipate USD to fell sharply to a low of 7.2611. Downward momentum is building again, but USD must break and stay below 7.2600 before a decline to 7.2400 can be expected. The chance of USD breaking clearly below 7.2600 will remain intact provided that 7.2900 is not breached.”

October hike odds climb toward 60% as Goldman and BofA both flip — what Warsh's "dose of accommodation" really changedRate futures now price roughly 55% to 62% for a 25bp hike at the October 27-28 FOMC, up from about 30% before Chair Warsh's post-meeting framing that the Fed is merely "removing some accommodation." Goldman Sachs has added an October hike to its forecast and Bank of America now sees moves in both October and December. Here is the repricing, the language behind it, and the two data points that decide it.

Memory chips surge, Nasdaq notches a second straight record close — why the Dow fell 185 points anywayMicron gained 5%, SanDisk 6.8%, Seagate 4% and Western Digital 3% as the memory complex led the Nasdaq Composite to a second consecutive record close of 27,244.28. But the Dow fell 185 points as JPMorgan, Wells Fargo and Schwab slid more than 3% each — a split tape that says more about positioning than about the economy.

US input costs rose at the fastest pace in four years — the September flash PMI beat is an inflation story, not a growth storyUS September flash PMIs came in far above expectations, with the composite at 58.4, a five-year high. But the detail that moved markets was input cost inflation at its fastest since October 2022, driven by fuel, transport and supply shortages.
