United Overseas Bank strategists Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann expect USD/CNH to edge lower intraday while staying confined to a narrow 6.7000–6.7100 band. Over the coming one to three weeks, they maintain a range-trading view between 6.6950 and 6.7270. On a one to three month basis, they see USD/CNH continuing to drift lower as long as it remains below the cloud resistance near 6.7815.

Narrow intraday band, soft medium-term bias

"24-HOUR VIEW: We expected USD to “trade sideways between 6.7000 and 6.7105” yesterday. However, USD rose to 6.7146 and then retreated quickly to close unchanged at 6.7038. There has been a slight increase in downward momentum. Today, USD could edge lower, but it is likely to stay within a 6.7000/6.7100 range."

"1-3 WEEKS VIEW: In our most recent narrative from last Tuesday (29 Sep, spot at 6.7110), we highlighted that “for the time being, we expect USD to trade in a range between 6.6950 and 6.7270.” We continue to hold the same view for now."
