US Dollar Indecision, Poised into FOMC

Chris Lee

Further robust US Dollar gains versus the New Zealand Dollars last week, but losses versus the British Pound. Furthermore, a hesitant range tone for the US currency against the Australian Dollar and Euro leaves an overall mixed and indecisive outlook for the US currency into the second half of June. The FOMC Meeting decision this Wednesday could resolve this indecisive tone.

NZDUSD Bearish Outlook Enhanced

  • A break below .7000 and monthly lows from 2010 at .6988/49 leaves June risks still lower
  • Below targets .6870, with threat lower for .6562.
