USD/CNH: Downward momentum is beginning to slow – UOB Group

Source Fxstreet

The US Dollar (USD) is likely to trade in a 7.0010/7.0350 range. In the longer run, downward momentum is beginning to slow; if USD breaches 7.0350, it would suggest that it could trade in a range for a period, UOB Group FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann note.

Likely to trade in a 7.0010/7.0350 range

24-HOUR VIEW: “After USD rebounded on Monday, we indicated yesterday (Tuesday) that USD could continue to rebound, but it does not appear to have enough momentum to threaten the strong resistance at 7.0350.’ In line with our expectations, USD rebounded, even though it almost broke above 7.0350 (high has been 7.0350). Despite the advance, there has been no significant increase in momentum, and instead of continuing to rise, USD is more likely to trade in a 7.0010/7.0350 range today.”

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “After holding a negative USD stance for more than a week (as annotated in the chart below), we highlighted yesterday (01 Oct, spot at 7.0100) that “downward momentum is beginning to slow, and if USD breaches 7.0350 (‘strong resistance’ level), it would suggest that it could trade in a range for a period.” USD subsequently rose but did not break clearly above 7.0350 (high has been 7.0350). As our ‘strong resistance’ level has not been clearly breached, we will hold the same view for now, even though the likelihood of further USD weakness has diminished.”

The 30-year Treasury just hit a 22-year high — and the bond market is not pricing the Fed, it is pricing the deficitThe 30-year Treasury yield closed at 5.56% on 28 September, the highest since June 2004, while the 10-year reached 5.24% and the 20-year 5.60%. The curve has steepened roughly 30bp in eight sessions even as October hike odds sit at 70.3%. That gap is the story: the long end is repricing fiscal and inflation risk, not policy. With PCE on Wednesday and payrolls on Friday, here is what the long end is really saying.

Nvidia's $150 billion buyback landed — and the AI sector fell anyway. That's the signal worth tradingNvidia closed up 1.68% at $228.86 on 28 September after announcing a $150 billion share repurchase authorisation, the largest single corporate buyback on record, while the rest of the AI complex sold off: AMD -3.6%, Micron -2.6%, Meta -4.8% and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index -1.61%. The divergence is not noise. Capital is rotating toward cash-flow certainty, not abandoning the AI theme. With Micron reporting after the close on 30 September, here is what the split means.
