Dollar-Yuan pair stuck in range
"24-HOUR VIEW: Last Friday, USD dropped to 6.7766 before rebounding to close at 6.7818. Yesterday, when USD was at 6.7845, we highlighted that “the sharp decline appears to have stabilised somewhat, and today USD is likely to consolidate between 6.7780 and 6.7920.” Our view of consolidation was not wrong, even though USD traded within a slightly narrower range than expected (6.7779/6.7895). The price action still appears to be part of a consolidation phase. Today, we expect USD to trade between 6.7785 and 6.7915."
"1-3 WEEKS VIEW: We continue to hold the same view as last Friday (10 Jul, spot at 6.7930). As highlighted, “for the time being, we expect USD to trade in a range, most likely between 6.7700 and 6.8100.”"
