Source Fxstreet
- USD/CNH attracts some sellers around 7.0990 amid the quiet session on Friday.
- The bearish outlook remains intact as the pair holds below the key EMA on the daily chart.
- The initial support level will emerge at 7.0668; the first resistance level is located at 7.1206.
The USD/CNH pair extends its downside during the early European session on Friday. The softer US Dollar (USD) and lower US Treasury bond yields exert some selling pressure on the pair. USD/CNH currently trades near 7.0990, losing 0.28% on the day.
From the technical perspective, USD/CNH holds below the 50- and 100-hour Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) on the daily chart, suggesting that further downside looks favorable. Additionally, the downward momentum is supported by the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI), which stands in bearish territory below 50.
The initial support level for USD/CNH will emerge near a low of June 2 at 7.0668. Further south, the next contention is located near a low of May 26 at 7.0557. A break below 7.0412 (Low of May 23) will see a drop to 7.0152 (Low of May 22).
On the upside, the first upside barrier to watch is a low of December 20 at 7.1206. The additional upside filter is seen at a high of December 28 at 7.1534. Any follow-through buying above the latter will see a rally to 7.1636 (High of December 22), en route to 7.1767 (High of December 6).

Nvidia slid 7.7% after hours while AMD and Broadcom rose — the AI trade changed hands, it didn't breakNvidia closed Wednesday at 173.73, up 2.87%, then fell as much as 8.1% to 159.44 after reports that its board was preparing for a possible leadership change. The same session, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose 5.7% with all 30 components higher, CoreWeave jumped 24.7% on 168% revenue growth, and Micron added 11.9%. If AI demand were being repriced, AMD and Broadcom would not be bid. This is a governance discount on one name, and 204.54 — the 200-day average — is the level that settles it.

Gold hit a one-year low while central banks bought 321 tonnes — the sellers were never the ones you thinkSpot gold closed at 3,876 on Thursday, down 2.8% and its lowest close in more than a year, with an intraday low near 3,852. The dollar is at a 19-month high of 103.21 and the 10-year yield is at 5.10%, so the price move is easy to explain. What is harder to explain is who sold: central banks bought 321 tonnes in Q3, the PBoC added for a 24th straight month, ETF holdings are near a record 4,256 tonnes, and roughly 95% of the futures selling came from non-reportable and sovereign-type accounts rather than hedge funds. This piece separates the two books that have to balance.

Brent rose 3.3% and US crude stocks built 4.66 million barrels in the same weekBrent January settled at 95.82, up 3.3%, and WTI at 88.74, up 2.55%, after the US signalled it would not pursue a deal with Iran and attacks on Gulf shipping continued. In the same week, EIA data showed US crude inventories rising 4.657 million barrels against expectations of a 1.1 million draw, with gasoline up another 1.799 million. OPEC output also rebounded 1.96 million barrels a day to 27.16 million in October, led by Saudi Arabia at 10.56 million. This piece separates the geopolitical premium from the physical balance and lays out where each side of the trade is anchored.
