We highlighted last Monday (30 Oct, spot 4.7540) that “the drop in USD/MYR has increased the likelihood of a pullback to 4.7430, possibly 4.7320.” While our view for USD/MYR to weaken was correct, the anticipated pullback exceeded our expectations as it dropped to a low of 4.7260 last Friday.
In Asian trade today, USD/MYR gapped down upon opening, and the outlook for USD/MYR remains negative. This week, it could drop further to 4.6480. The next support at 4.6300 is likely out of reach. Resistance is at 4.7200, followed by 4.7400.
