USD/CNH: Downward pressure remains intact – UOB Group
USD is likely to trade in a 7.2400/7.2700 range vs Chinese Yuan (CNH). In the longer run, downward pressure remains intact; should USD break below 7.2260, the next level to watch is 7.2000, UOB Group's FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note.
Below 7.2260, the next level to watch is 7.2000
24-HOUR VIEW: "Our view for USD to trade sideways yesterday was incorrect. Instead of trading sideways, USD rose to a high of 7.2697, closing at 7.2637 (+0.23%). 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 7.2400/7.2700 range."
1-3 WEEKS VIEW: "In our most recent narrative from last Thursday (06 Mar, spot at 7.2440), we indicated that “the downward pressure remains intact, and should USD break below and hold below 7.2260, the next level to watch is 7.2000.” Since then, USD has not been able to make further headway on the downside. That said, we will continue to hold the same view for now, provided that the ‘strong resistance’ at 7.2800 (no change in level) is not breached."
