The US Dollar (USD) is likely to trade in a range between 7.1350 and 7.1770. In the longer run, surge in momentum suggests further USD strength, but the pace and extent is likely to be more moderate, UOB Group’s FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note.

USD to trade in a range between 7.1350 and 7.1770

24-HOUR VIEW: “Our view for USD to rise above 7.2200 yesterday did not turn. After reaching a high of 7.2133, it staged an unexpectedly sharp drop, reaching a low of 7.1420. The decline appears to be excessive, and USD is unlikely to weaken much further. Today, USD is more likely to trade in a range between 7.1350 and 7.1770.”
