USD Buoyed Again

After some minor downward correction yesterday, the dollar traded more strongly versus the major pairs during all of Asian trading, especially against the Swiss franc where a 100 basis points cut in interest rates weakened the CHF against the euro as well. The Greenback was given additional support by oil prices dropping below $50 / barrel.

Short term in overbought condition now, the USD started a downward correction in early European trading, which might well continue in today’s trading although the fundamental expectations and the technical factors still support a stronger dollar. See the details in the outlook below for the major pairs. There are no important scheduled data releases today.

Intraday Market Outlook for Day Traders

EUR / USD
The recovery of the EUR / USD from a low of 1.2424 in Asian trading was enforced this European morning and the pair is currently trading at 1.2620, near a broader resistance zone. We expect trading to move into this zone, eventually meeting the upper limit at 1.2690 for today.

GBP / USD
The previously so unstable cable seems to have found more solid footing – having been in a broad trading range for 7 days and currently in an upswing therein. Trading now at 1.4975, it will soon bump into today’s resistance at 1.5050, where another downswing is expected.

USD / CHF
After another solid upmove yesterday and in Asian trading, the dollar started a downward correction against the Swiss franc and is currently trading at 1.2205. The support zone 1.2150 might be tested today but not broken.

USD / JPY
The dollar was in an upthrust in all of Asian and early European trading and is currently priced at 95.15 against the yen. We see this mood changing
