2-way risks likely
"Focus this week shifts to ISM manufacturing (Tuesday); JOLTS job openings report (Wednesday); ADP employment, ISM services, initial jobless claims (Thursday) and more importantly, NFP report (Friday). Softer data print may potentially change the narrative and weigh on USD. In particular, we will be on the lookout for any pick-up in discussion for a jumbo 50bp cut at Sep FOMC."
"Mild bearish momentum on daily chart intact while RSI was flat. 2-way risks likely. Resistance at 98.70 (100 DMA) and 99.60 (23.6% fibo retracement of 2025 high to low). Support at 97.50, 97.10 levels."
"Data surprises (if any) this week should see reactive trades. On Fedspeaks, Musalem, Williams and Goolsbee are lined up this week before Fedspeaks go into a communication blackout on 6 September."
