Outlook for USD is neutral now; it is likely to trade between 6.9660 and 7.0160, UOB Group's FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note.

Outlook for USD/CNH remains neutral for now

24-HOUR VIEW: "We expected USD to 'trade in a range between 6.9740 and 6.9900' last Friday. USD subsequently traded between 6.9721 and 6.9841, closing largely unchanged (6.9777, -0.07%). The underlying tone has softened somewhat, but this is likely to lead to USD trading range of 6.9700/6.9860 rather than a continued decline."

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: "Last Thursday (08 Jan, spot at 6.9900), we highlighted 'the outlook for USD is neutral now', and we expected it to 'trade between 6.9660 and 7.0160'. Our view remains unchanged."
