Key Quotes
“In our latest update from last Tuesday (25 Apr, spot at 4.4360), we highlighted that ‘The underlying appears to be firm, and the bias for USD/MYR this week is still on the upside’. We noted that ‘there are a couple of strong resistance levels at 4.4410 and 4.4550’. The anticipated USD/MYR strength exceeded our expectations as it rose to a high of 4.4625 last Wednesday. Upward momentum has improved, albeit not by much.”
“This week, USD/MYR could strengthen further but a sustained rise above 4.4850 appears unlikely this week. On the downside, a breach of 4.4200 would indicate that USD/MYR is not strengthening further.”
