FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

US Dollar (USD) is likely to consolidate between 7.1000 and 7.1180. In the longer run, the weakness in USD has stabilized; it is likely to range-trade between 7.0920 and 7.1280, UOB Group's FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note.

Weakness in USD has stabilized

24-HOUR VIEW: "Yesterday, we expected USD to 'range-trade between 7.0900 and 7.1080'. We did not expect the strong advance that reached a high of 7.1178. The sharp rise appears excessive, and USD is unlikely to advance much further. Today, USD is more likely to consolidate, probably between 7.1000 and 7.1180."

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: "In our most recent narrative from two days ago (29 Oct, spot at 7.0940), we highlighted that the recent price action 'suggests USD could drop below 7.0860'. We added, 'only a breach of 7.1150 (‘strong resistance’ level) would indicate the decline in USD that started in the middle of this month has stabilized'. Yesterday, in a sudden move, USD soared and broke above our ‘strong resistance’ level. The weakness in USD has stabilized, and from here, we expect USD to range-trade, most likely between 7.0920 and 7.1280."

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
