The $US continued its descent last week without the tailwind of falling bond yields, an encouraging sign for the bears like MM. There is no change; if we are correct, the Greenback has formed a significant swing high and will test/break the important psychological 100 area. Our preference is the next 10% move by the $US is down, but at this stage, it does remain in the middle of the last 12-months trading range.
- We remain net bearish towards the $US, but downside follow-through by bond yields may be required before the Greenback can break 2023 lows.
The Pound has bounced strongly from its 1.20 support area and remains on track to follow the MM roadmap and test its 2021 high through 2024, a bullish read-through for resources and especially precious metals.
- We remain bullish towards the Pound with an initial target around the 1.40 area or ~10% higher.
