The US Dollar (USD) is expected to edge higher; any advance is unlikely to reach 7.0710. In the longer run, weakness has stabilised; current price movements are likely part of a 6.9900/7.0800 range trading phase, UOB Group FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann note.

Price movements are a part of a 6.9900/7.0800 range

24-HOUR VIEW: “We expected USD to continue to rise yesterday. However, we indicated that ‘any advance is unlikely to reach the resistance at 7.0600.’ USD subsequently rose to 7.0550, closing at 7.0504 (+0.20%). Despite the advance, there has been no significant increase in momentum. Today, we expect USD to edge higher, but this time around, any advance is unlikely to reach 7.0710. Support is at 7.0390, followed by 7.0220.”

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “We highlighted yesterday (03 Oct, spot at 7.0380) that the recent USD weakness has stabilised. We also highlighted that “the current price movements are likely part of a range trading phase, probably between 6.9900 and 7.0800.” We continue to hold the same view.”
