Key Quotes

24-hour view: “Last Friday, we held the view that USD ‘could edge higher to 6.5250’. Our expectation did not quite materialize as it traded in a relatively quiet manner between 6.5040 and 6.5220. The underlying tone still appears to be a tad positive and there is still scope for USD to edge higher to 6.5250. The next resistance at 6.5360 is not expected to come into the picture. On the downside, a break of 6.4950 would indicate that the current mild upward pressure has eased (minor support is at 6.5020).”

Next 1-3 weeks: “There is no change to our latest narrative from last Monday (15 Mar, spot at 6.4970). As highlighted, the outlook is mixed and USD is likely to trade between 6.4730 and 6.5360 for a period of time.”
