The US Dollar (USD) could continue to trade in a range, probably between 160.80 and 161.80. Upward momentum is beginning to slow, but only a breach of 160.45 would suggest that USD is not strengthening further, UOB Group analysts Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann note. Â
24-HOUR VIEW: “We expected USD to trade in a range between 160.80 and 161.90 yesterday. USD subsequently traded in a narrower range than expected (160.93/1611.74). The price action provides no fresh clues, and we continue to expect USD to trade in a range, probably between 160.80 and 161.80.”
1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “We have expected a stronger USD since the middle of last month.
