CZECHIA

  • USDCZK surged by nearly 1% to a high of 22.47 following German Health Minister saying that government cannot rule out a lockdown.
  • Next resistance to watch on the topside stands at 22.50, followed by 22.93 (Nov 2020 highs). On the downside, first support stands at 22.22, followed by 22.14.
