Key Quotes

24-hour view: “USD traded within a relatively narrow range yesterday and registered an ‘inside day’. Further range trading seems likely from here, expected to be within a 108.35/109.10”.

Next 1-3 weeks: “The sharp pull-back from last week’s 111.39 peak is viewed as part of a broader consolidation phase. However, the pullback has room to extend lower towards 107.90. At this stage, a sustained move below this level is not expected. Only a move above the key resistance at 109.60 would indicate that the current downward pressure has eased”.
