MYR
Support / Resistance
vs USD 4.0776 / 4.1024 ⬇
USDMYR is expected to open slightly higher today as the broader dollar stays better bid with USD/JPY back above 159 and US yields firmer into tomorrow’s US CPI, while lingering doubts over a near-term US Iran deal have also helped keep the dollar supported at the margin. Even so, the pair should continue to consolidate within the recent 4.08–4.10 range for now, with better dollar supply likely to emerge ahead of 4.10 as markets stay cautious into the CPI event risk. For today, expected range is seen at 4.0800–4.1000.
