  • We saw an intraday high of 106.36 and a low of 106.06 in the Asian session today.
     
  • The dollar found some traction on Monday following last week's steep fall and managed to hold above the 106 handle.
     
  • Inflation worries and concerns about the U.S. fiscal and trade deficits will keep the dollar on the defensive.
     
  • Technical indicators are still bearish, we do not see any major signs of reversal.
     
  • 1H 55-EMA at 106.42 offers stiff resistance, break above could see minor upside till 1H 110-EMA at 106.94.
     
  • We see minor bullishness in the near-term only on decisive break above 5-DMA at 106.70.
