Pablo Piovano FXStreet

Quek Ser Leang at UOB Group’s Global Economics & Markets Research noted USD/THB faces a probable pullback in the near term.

Key Quotes

“USD/THB rose to 33.48 early last week before dropping sharply. The decline has gathered momentum and a break of Jan’s low of 32.81 would not be surprising.”

“For this week, the next major support at 32.56 is likely out of reach (there is another support at 32.65). Resistance is at 33.10 but only a breach of 33.25 would indicate that USD/THB is not ready to head lower.”

Gold keeps the bid tone near $4,200

Gold is still holding a positive tone around the $4,200 zone per troy ounce on Tuesday, though it’s starting to lose a bit of steam as the US Dollar finds support from stronger-than-expected jobs data. Even so, markets remain confident the Fed will move ahead with a rate cut on Wednesday, which ultimately lends support to the yellow metal.
