Chinese Yuan: Range trade persists, downside risk intact against US Dollar – UOB
UOB’s Senior Technical Strategist Quek Ser Leang expects USD/CNH to remain confined in a tight near-term range, with the Dollar likely to trade between 6.7950 and 6.8100. Despite easing upward momentum, UOB still sees scope for a move toward 6.8300 while 6.7900 holds as strong support. On a 1–3 month horizon, a break above the 21-week EMA at 6.8430 is needed to signal a sustained recovery.
Dollar holds range with upside risks
"24-HOUR VIEW: USD rose to 6.8195 last Thursday and then pulled back. On Friday, when USD was at 6.8020, we indicated that “although there is room for USD to retreat further, given that there is no clear increase in downward momentum, any decline is likely to stay within a 6.7950/6.8100 range.” USD then traded between 6.7982 and 6.8094, closing largely unchanged at 6.8044 (+0.04%). There has been no shift in either downward or upward momentum, and we continue to expect USD to trade between 6.7950 and 6.8100."
"1-3 WEEKS VIEW: We have held a positive USD view since the middle of the month. In our most recent narrative from last Thursday (25 Jun, spot at 6.8130), we indicated that “the surge in momentum suggests USD could rise to 6.8300.” While upward momentum has since eased, as long as the ‘strong support’ at 6.7900 (no change in level) is not breached, there is still a chance for USD to head toward 6.8300"

How does Wall Street view the PCE? Goldman Sachs delays expectation for Fed rate hike
After the lower-than-expected US August PCE data was released, Goldman Sachs delayed its expectation for the Federal Reserve's second rate hike from October to December, and stated that it does not rule out the possibility that the Fed may eventually decide no further hikes are necessary. "New Fed Newsletter" Timiraos noted that the PCE does not change the previously known trend of rising inflation. Currently, the market prices in a 39% probability of a rate hike in October, down from 45% before the PCE release; and a 90% probability in December. The yield on 2-year US Treasury notes dipped slightly after the PCE announcement and then rebounded, while the 10-year yield continued to rise.
