Key Quotes
24-hour view: “We expected USD to strengthen yesterday but we were of the view that ‘any advance is expected to face strong resistance at 7.1620’. However, USD easily took out 7.1620 and soared to a high of 7.1865 before pulling back. The pullback amid overbought conditions suggests USD is unlikely to advance further. For today, USD is more likely to trade sideways within an expected range of 7.1400/7.1800.”
Next 1-3 weeks: “We continue to hold the same view as last Friday (18 Nov, spot at 7.1460) where USD has likely moved into a consolidation phase. We expect USD to trade sideways for now, likely to be between 7.0600 and 7.2100.”
