USD Edges Lower Before Stabilising

FOREX

  • Newswire headlines have noted that the Chinese mega city of Shanghai has further loosened property market restrictions, with downpayments lowered and the interest rate on mortgages covering primary residences reduced.
  • This probably weighs on the USD via the rest of the world growth channel, although the move started before the headlines hit western news outlets.
  • Initial resistance levels in EUR/USD & GBP/USD are untouched.
