USD/CNH: Bears strive to test 7.2220 – UOB Group

Source Fxstreet

The next support at 7.2220 is unlikely to come under threat. The US Dollar (USD) must break and remain below the 7.2037 low before further weakness can be expected, UOB Group FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann note.

The price is to touch 7.2220 in short term

24-HOUR VIEW: “The sharp drop in USD that sent it plummeting to 7.2354 was surprising. While the weakness is oversold, it has not stabilised. Today, as long as 7.2600 (minor resistance is at 7.2540) is not breached, USD could drop below 7.2350. The next support at 7.2200 is unlikely to come under threat.”

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “Last Thursday, USD plunged to a low of 7.2037 before rebounding. On Friday (26 Jul, spot at 7.2470), we highlighted that ‘while further USD weakness is not ruled out, it must break and remain below the 7.2037 low before further decline can be expected.’ We added, ‘the likelihood of USD breaking clearly below the low will be intact provided that 7.2800 is not breached.’ We continue to hold the same view.”

Housing starts fell to the second-lowest since the pandemic shutdown — with the 10-year at 5.12%, who is left to buy?US housing starts dropped 5.2% to 1.221 million in September, the second-lowest pace since the 2020 pandemic shutdown, and building permits hit a three-and-a-half-year low of 1.400 million. Both figures are worse than they look because July and August were revised up. With the 10-year Treasury at 5.117% — only 19bp below its October 5 peak of 5.311% — and the NAHB builder confidence index at 2012 levels, here are the three numbers, the transmission chain from rates to permits, and the two scenarios into the October 28 FOMC.
