Euro dollar exchange rate outlook today


Our view remains on track and the pair may remain supported on dips pending further US fiscal developments this week with
support seen towards 1.3500 before 1.3450.

Meanwhile, Upside head room is seen extending towards the 1.3650 area for now. The ECB’s Draghi is expected to speak this week and expect the resulting rhetoric to remain sufficiently dovish, although inherent USD weakness may continue to prevail for the pair.

Dollar Yen exchange rate outlook


Dollar vulnerability is also expected to continue to manifest itself through the USD-JPY with the pair now having sunk below 97.00 on
Monday. If the 200-day MA (96.73) caves, expect the pair to gravitate towards 96.00 and then 95.80.bank beating exchange rates

Australian vs US dollar exchange rate outlook


September labor market numbers are due on Thursday and as noted above, we are somewhat constructive on the pair in the near term.
Note that this view is predicated on sustained risk appetite levels across global markets.

In the interim, expect the pair to remain bounded by a 0.9300-0.9500 band amid a supported tone.

Pound sterling to US dollar outlook


The pair may attempt to continue to base build off the 1.6000 floor pending further US fiscal cues while local data prints still remain
slightly supportive of the pair. Any breach above 1.6100 may see a test towards 1.6160.
