UOB’s Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann note that USD/CNH has been confined to a tight range and expect the Dollar to trade between 6.7430 and 6.7530 in the near term. Over the coming weeks, they still see scope for a drift lower toward 6.7300 unless 6.7580 resistance breaks, while a medium-term recovery needs a move above the 21-week EMA at 6.8430.

Dollar stuck in tight CNH range

"24-HOUR VIEW: We indicated yesterday that USD “is likely to trade in a range between 6.7410 and 6.7510.” However, USD traded within a tight 6.7444/6.7489 range. We are not able to derive much from the price action. Today, USD could trade between 6.7430 and 6.7530."

"1-3 WEEKS VIEW: In our most recent narrative from last Monday (03 Aug, spot at 6.7490), we highlighted that USD “could continue to edge lower toward 6.7300.” Although there has been no further increase in downward momentum, there is still a chance for USD to edge lower toward 6.7300. On the upside, a breach of 6.7580 (no change in ‘strong resistance’ level) would indicate that USD is likely to range-trade instead."

Intel Stock Forecast: UBS Says $20 Billion Financing Plan Eliminates Long-Term Stock Uncertainty, INTC Enters Breakout Validation Phase

On August 13 Eastern Time, Intel (INTC) shares broke through the $105 mark. The catalyst for the stock price was Intel's recently announced $20 billion financing plan. UBS stated that the $20 billion financing plan announced by Intel this week has likely eliminated the long-standing uncertainties hanging over its stock price. UBS analyst Timothy Arcuri pointed out that, combined with the advance payments and financial commitments attached to several foundry agreements Intel is finalizing—with Google believed to have reached a deal on EMIB-T technology, Apple involved with M-series chips, alongside AMD, SpaceX, and other potential clients—this round of financing is sufficient to support the subsequent buildout investments for its foundry business.
