The post Chinese Yuan: Range trade holds with modest downside against US Dollar – UOB appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. UOB’s Quek Ser Leang notes that the US Dollar against the Chinese Yuan has stayed within the previously flagged range, with only modest upward momentum despite a push toward 6.8000. He still sees USD/CNH confined between 6.7750 and 6.8080 over the next 1–3 weeks, with nearby support at 6.7900 and 6.7850 and major resistance at 6.8080. Dollar stays capped in defined range “24-HOUR VIEW: Yesterday, we were of the view that USD “is likely to trade in a range between 6.7800 and 6.7930.” We were incorrect, as USD rose to a high of 6.7998. Despite the advance, upward momentum has not increased much. However, USD could potentially rise above 6.8000. The major resistance at 6.8080 is unlikely to come under threat. Support is at 6.7900, followed by 6.7850.” “1-3 WEEKS VIEW: Last Wednesday (01 Jul, spot at 6.7920), we highlighted that the recent USD “strength has come to an

The post Singapore Dollar: Upside risk stays contained against US Dollar – UOB appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. United Overseas Bank’s (UOB) Quek Ser Leang notes USD/SGD closed almost unchanged near 1.2924, but short-term momentum has turned slightly lower. Leang expects intraday price action to stay within 1.2900–1.2935, while over the coming weeks the risk of a break below 1.2890 is increasing, with another firm support at 1.2875 and strong resistance at 1.2955 capping the topside. Downward bias with range constraints “24-HOUR VIEW: Yesterday, we indicated that USD “is likely to trade in a range between 1.2900 and 1.2935.” While USD traded within a higher range than expected (1.2913/1.2938), it closed largely unchanged at 1.2924 (+0.04%). While there has been a slight increase in downward momentum, this is likely to lead to USD trading in a lower range of 1.2900/1.2935 rather than a sustained decline.” “1-3 WEEKS VIEW: We have expected USD to trade in a range since early last wee

The post Indonesia: Deficit seen contained – UOB appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. UOB Global Economics & Markets Research economists Enrico Tanuwidjaja and Vincentius Ming Shen assess Indonesia’s fiscal metrics, noting a primary surplus in May despite rapid expenditure growth. They highlight strong tax-driven revenue supported by the Coretax system, elevated central government spending on social programs, and maintain a 2026 fiscal deficit forecast near 2.9% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), with potential narrowing if tax reforms and spending cuts succeed. Fiscal stance, deficit and financing risks “Indonesia’s fiscal position improved in May, with the primary balance returning to a surplus of IDR58.6tn.” “As a result, the fiscal deficit widened slightly to 0.70% of GDP from 0.63% in April, although it remained well below the statutory ceiling of 3% of GDP, preserving ample fiscal policy flexibility.” “Looking ahead, prudent fiscal management remains essential.” “We maintain our fi
