US Dollar (USD) is likely to trade sideways vs Chinese Yuan (CNH) between 7.2570 and 7.2820. In the longer run, momentum has improved further; USD could continue to rise to 7.2980, UOB Group's FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note. 

USD can continue to rise to 7.2980

24-HOUR VIEW: "After USD rose to 7.2822 two days ago, we highlighted yesterday that 'although there has been no clear increase in upward momentum, there is scope for USD to test 7.2855.' We pointed out, 'support levels are at 7.2720 and 7.2650.' Our expectations did not materialise, as USD traded in a 7.2658/7.2791 range, closing at 7.2671 (-0.16%). The price action appears to be part of a sideways trading range, mostly likely between 7.2570 and 7.2820." 

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: "Momentum has improved further; USD could continue to rise to 7.2980. On Wednesday (26 Mar, spot at 7.2655), highlighted that 'there appears to be enough momentum for USD to rise to 7.2820.' After USD rose to 7.2822, we highlighted yesterday (27 Mar, spot at 7.2765) that 'momentum has improved further, and we continue to expect USD to rise, and the next level to monitor is 7.2980.' We will maintain our view as long as the ‘strong support’ at 7.2500 (no change in level from yesterday) is intact."

Gold retests $4,200 as dollar and yields retreat — can bullion clear its hardest level?Spot gold traded near $4,175 on Monday (+0.23%), with an intraday high of $4,187.71 after last week's $4,073 ~ $4,217 range; COMEX futures briefly topped $4,200. The dollar slipped to 101.76 and 10-year yields eased from their highs, but October Fed hike odds near 52% and BofA's sub-$4,000 call still cap the upside. Here are the drivers, the levels and what would flip the script.

Brent slips from $110 as Russian supply prospects return — is the five-month rally over?Brent crude traded near $108.06 on Monday (-1.71%), pulling back from last week's $110 high after Washington moved to ease restrictions on Russian oil flows. WTI hovered around $101 before dipping below $99. The retreat is real, but so is the supply-risk premium: Hormuz shipping disruptions, attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure and strikes on Russian refineries remain live. Here are the three numbers, the transmission chain and the levels that matter.

Dollar presses 102 as the 10-year yield sits at 5.14% — and October hike odds are only 17%The dollar index closed at 101.99 (+0.20%) on Monday after briefly topping 102.07, while the 10-year Treasury yield rose to 5.14% and the 2-year hit 4.774% — yet futures price only about a 17% chance of a hike at the October 27-28 FOMC, versus roughly 90% for December. The driver is a global bond selloff, not a Fed repricing: France's 10-year OAT jumped to 4.84% ~ 4.94% and the OAT-Bund spread widened to 140 ~ 146bp. Here are the levels, the cross-asset read-through and what to watch.
