USD/CNH Gets Close 7.1800, Late Nov 2022 Highs Above 7.2000 Next Potential Upside Target

CNH

USD/CNH dips are being supported post the PBoC's 7-day repo cut announcement. We currently sit at 7.1730/40, against a high of 7.1782. Dips back towards 7.1650 post the announcement have been supported. Spot USD/CNY is moving quite quickly as, last close to 7.1650. Both CNH and CNY are around 0.25% weaker versus Monday closing levels at this stage.

  • For USD/CNH there doesn't seem to be much in the way of upside resistance ahead of the 7.2000 region, see the chart below. Beyond that lies late Nov 2022 highs near 7.2600.
  • Ahead of the rate announcement, the PBoC CNY fixing was also set on the weak side, so there doesn't appear to be much in the way of fresh push back to renewed FX weakness in the near term.
