Despite weakness to a 16-month low of 104.57 in Mar, subsequent rally to Jul's 6-month peak signals recent decline has ended as this level was accompanied by 'bullish convergences' on daily indicators. However, dlr's selloff to 110.59 in Jul, then 110.11 y'day confirms the long-awaited correction of said rise has occured n fur- ther weakness to 109.88 (min. 38.2% r) is envisaged after consolidation, below there is needed to extend to 109.20/37 area later.
