AUD
Support / Resistance
vs USD 0.7048 / 0.7212 ➡

EUR
Support / Resistance
vs USD 1.1404 / 1.1607 ⬇

GBP
Support / Resistance
vs USD 1.3294 / 1.3529 ⬇

NZD
Support / Resistance
vs USD 0.5639 / 0.5866 ⬇

RMB
Support / Resistance
vs USD 6.6823 / 6.7165 ⬆
CNH appreciated against USD Friday as the dollar eased and investors weighed the impact of tighter global policy on China’s economy, curbing expectations for sharp offshore yuan weakness. USDCNH fell 0.13% last Friday while CNHHKD ended at 1.17 level.
CAD
Support / Resistance
vs USD 1.3825 / 1.4082 ⬇
CAD appreciated against USD Friday as crude prices supported the loonie, though wider U.S.-Canada yield spreads continued to act as a headwind. USDCAD fell 0.03% last Friday while CADHKD ended at 5.60 level.
JPY
Support / Resistance
vs USD 153.02 / 160.54 ⬆
JPY weakened against USD Friday despite a softer dollar, as BOJ’s rate hike to 1.25% failed to meet tightening hopes and soft Japanese inflation pressured the yen. USDJPY rose 0.58% last Friday while JPYHKD ended at 5.00 level.
SGD
Support / Resistance
vs USD 1.2659 / 1.2822 ➡
SGD weakened against USD Friday despite a softer broader dollar, as strong August export data failed to materially shift trading and the currency remained driven by U.S. yield expectations. USDSGD rose 0.05% last Friday while SGDHKD ended at 6.14 level.
MYR
Support / Resistance
vs USD 4.0420 / 4.1124 ⬇
USDMYR rose through most of last week as the hawkish Fed and elevated oil prices lifted the pair from around 4.08 toward 4.10, before strong Malaysian trade data and softer USD flows prompted a late-week pullback. MYR was supported by August exports rising 45.5% year-on-year and a wider-than-expected MYR28.1 billion trade surplus, while offshore funds and bond-related flows sold USD on rallies. USDMYR closed on Friday around 4.0830. USD remained broadly firm overnight, with USDJPY weakening toward 157 after a less-hawkish-than-expected BoJ hike and two dissenting votes; thin Japanese holiday liquidity amplified the move. Oil remained elevated near USD103 per barrel, although expectations of a potential US–China summit and progress in trade negotiations supported risk sentiment and limited further USD gains. USDMYR opened around 4.08 level this morning and is expected to trade within the 4.06–4.09 range, with markets focused on Fed commentary, the Xi–Trump summit on 24 September, oil prices and Middle East developments for the next directional catalyst.
