Chart Of The Day USD/THB: 34.67 Approaching major 34.83 resistance, longs to take partial profit.
We indicated last Friday that we are “anticipating a break above 34.70 for a move to 34.83”. USD hit a high of 34.75 but has
since eased off. However, as long as the stop-loss at 34.53 (adjusted from 34.50) is intact, we continue to anticipate a move to
34.83. This is a rather strong resistance and those who are long since the bullish phase started on 28 April (see Chart of the
Day update, spot at 34.63) should look to take some partial profit.

OVERVIEW
It has generally been a quiet start to the week in markets. US equities closed flat whilst the USD traded higher, tracking the jump
in UST yields and the steepening of the UST curve. Cleveland Fed’s Loretta Mester had said that the Fed needed to be vigilant
against ‘falling behind the curve’ and that she was comfortable with changing balance sheet policy this year. The post-French
Presidential election sell-off in EUR also supported the move higher for USD. In the commodity space, the main point of note is
that both copper and iron ore are weaker following a Chinese trade report that pointed to slower growth than the market had
expected. In currency markets the US dollar has firmed against most counterparts.
Today, we have the NFIB small business optimism survey for April, March JOLTS jobs openings data, the final print for the
March wholesale inventories and trade sales data; whilst it will be a busy day for US corporate earnings reporting. We will also
have many senior Fed officials speaking in public forums on Tuesday including Minneapolis Fed President, Neel Kashkari (voter
in 2017 FOMC), Dallas Fed President Robert S. Kaplan (voter in 2017 FOMC), Kansas Fed President, Esther George (nonvoter
in 2017 FOMC), St Louis Fed President, James Bullard (non-voter in 2017 FOMC) and Boston Fed President, Eric Rosengren
(non-voter in 2017 FOMC).

USD/SGD: 1.4055
USD/SGD traded at a higher range of 1.4027–1.4068 and closed at 1.4041/USD during Asian hours yesterday. This
morning, the SGD NEER is trading at 0.22% above the midpoint. We expect the SGD NEER to trade between the midpoint
and 0.5% above the midpoint, implying a USD/SGD range of 1.4086 – 1.4016 based on current FX levels. Onshore markets
will be closed on Wednesday for the Vesak Day holiday.

24-HOUR VIEW: 1-3 WEEKS VIEW:
USD traded in a range of 1.4027/1.4067 yesterday, close to
our sideway trading range of 1.4025/1.4075. The underlying
momentum has improved somewhat but while extension
higher is likely, a sustained move above the major 1.4080/85
resistance is not expected for now (next resistance at
1.4100). Support is at 1.4040 followed by 1.4020.
Bullish: Immediate target of 1.4080/85. [No change in view, see update from yesterday below]
We just shifted to a bullish USD stance last Friday (see
Chart of Day update on Friday, spot at 1.4005) and there is
no change to the view. The pace of the up-move is more
rapid than expected and the immediate target at 1.4080/85
appears to within reach soon. A move above this level
would shift the focus to 1.4140 as there are no significant
resistances between these two levels. Stop-loss is adjusted
higher to 1.3990 from 1.3945 last Friday.

EUR/SGD: 1.5360
24-HOUR VIEW: 1-3 WEEKS VIEW:
The sharp drop from the 1.5480 peak seen early yesterday
morning was unexpected. While the recent strong upward
momentum has been dented, the decline appears to be over-
extended and further sustained weakness is not expected for
today. This pair is more likely to trade sideways at these
lower levels, likely within a 1.5320/1.5410 range.
Bullish: Diminished odds for further EUR strength.
After the strong rally late last week, the ‘bearish outside bar’
registered yesterday came as a surprise. While the bullish
phase that started on 26 Apr (spot at 1.5235) is still intact,
the sharp drop yesterday has diminished the odds for further
EUR strength. The 1.5480 high seen early yesterday is
acting as a formidable resistance now and is expected to cap
any EUR strength for the next few days. On the downside, a
break of the stop-loss at 1.5320 would indicate that the
bullish phase has ended and the start of sideway
consolidation phase.
*Took partial profit at 1.5300.
GBP/SGD: 1.8185
24-HOUR VIEW: 1-3 WEEKS VIEW:
The strong 1.8290 resistance was unchallenged as GBP
eased off quickly after hitting a high of 1.8248. A temporary
top is likely in place and GBP is expected to trade sideways
for today even though the immediate bias is for a probe lower
towards the bottom of the expected 1.8140/1.8230 range.
Bullish: Anticipating bullish extension to 1.8500.
There is not much to add to the Chart of the Day update
from yesterday. The break of the key 1.8150 resistance
bodes well for our current bullish view especially when major
resistances are far apart. We continue to anticipate the
current bullish phase to extend further to 1.8500. Stop-loss is
unchanged at 1.8060 for now.
*Took partial profit at 1.7990.
AUD/SGD: 1.0390
24-HOUR VIEW: 1-3 WEEKS VIEW:
In line with expectation, the strong 1.0455 resistance held as
AUD traded mostly sideways yesterday. Indicators are
mostly neutral now which suggest further range trading, likely
not moving much out of the 1.0362/1.0428 range seen
yesterday.
Neutral: AUD trying to form a short-term base. [No change in view, see update from yesterday below]
We indicated that last Friday that “unless AUD can reclaim
1.0455, another attempt towards 1.0325/30 is not ruled out”.
AUD dipped briefly to hit a low of 1.0322 before rebounding
strongly. Despite the robust recovery, it is too early to
expect a sustained rebound even though the price action
over the past few days suggests that this pair is trying to
form a short-term base. All in, AUD has to move and stay
above 1.0455 to indicate that the immediate downward
pressure has eased. Until then, further attempt to move
towards the major 1.0320/30 support is not ruled out but the
odds for such a move have diminished.
JPY/SGD: 1.2420
24-HOUR VIEW: 1-3 WEEKS VIEW:
JPY closed on a weak note and there appears to be scope
for further weakness even though a move below last week’s
low near 1.2360 is not expected (minor support at 1.2385).
Resistance is at 1.2445 but only a move above 1.2465
would indicate that the current mild downward pressure has
eased.
Neutral: In a 1.2350/1.2550 range.
The neutral phase that started last Friday is still intact. While
downward momentum is picking up again, a clear break of
the major 1.2350 support seems unlikely for now. That said, a
break below this strong level would indicate that JPY has
moved into a bearish phase again. In the meanwhile, we
continue to hold the view that this pair is trading in
1.2350/1.2550 range.

USD/MYR: 4.3390
USD/MYR is higher this morning around the 4.3390 region. Notably, Malaysia’s debt market enjoyed its first inflows in six
months as global funds bought the nation’s bonds following a stronger MYR and central bank measures to restore confidence in
the local markets. Foreign ownership of Malaysian sovereign and corporate debt climbed 3.8% to MYR 185bn in April from the
previous month, according to data from BNM. Overseas investors had pulled MYR63bn from Malaysian debt in the five months
from November to March.

Bearish: Diminished odds for extension to 4.2750. [No change in view, see update from yesterday below]
While USD continues to recover, it is not enough to shift the current bearish phase that started on 26 Apr (spot at 4.3660) to
neutral. Only a move back above 4.3560 would indicate that the 4.3100 low seen last week is a short-term base. Until then,
another push lower towards 4.2750 is not ruled out even though the odds for such a move have diminished.
USD/THB: 34.67
Further inflows into Thai assets intraday should keep the THB supported (as it did yesterday where foreign investors purchased
THB0.59bn and THB5.18bn in equities and government debt) though the USD/THB pair is currently trading bid amid a firmer
USD tone.

USD/CNH: 6.9105
China’s April trade data was released on Monday. Exports measured in CNY terms rose 14.3% y/y, down from 22.3% y/y in
March and missing expectations of a 16.8% y/y reading. Imports in CNY terms rose 18.6% y/y, down from 26.3% y/y in March
and missing expectations of a 29.3% y/y print. The trade balance came in at CNY262.3bn, up from CNY164.3bn in March.
April trade data add to the impression of a deceleration in China’s economy heading toward 2H. Export and import growth
slowed, and missed expectations, despite a lower base for comparison. Trade data are volatile, but the latest numbers are
consistent with signs of a slowdown from April business surveys. The April numbers likely mean a slowdown to a more
moderate pace of expansion in exports and imports over the course of the year. Compared to early 2016, when China’s trade
with the rest of the world contracted, the overall picture remains positive. Looking forward, various indicators suggest
moderating export growth in the months ahead.
1-3 WEEKS VIEW:
Neutral: Bullish if daily closing above 6.9145.
As indicated yesterday, the outlook for USD is clearly positive and the current recovery has scope to extend to 6.9145, the high
in April. Based on the rapid pace of the up-move over the past couple of days, a move above this strong resistance would not
be surprising and a daily close above this level would indicate the start of a bullish phase (with an immediate target of 6.9315).
This appears to be a likely scenario if the short-term support at 6.9000 can hold for the next 1 to 2 days.
CNH/SGD: 0.2035
1-3 WEEKS VIEW:
Bullish: Immediate target of 0.2038.
CNH retested 0.2037 yesterday and the immediate bullish target at 0.2038 is not met. The bullish phase that started last Friday (spot at 0.2031) is still clearly intact and a break above 0.2038 would shift the focus to 0.2045. Stop-loss is unchanged at
0.2027 for now.

EUR/USD: 1.0930 German factory orders rose 1.0% m/m in March, driven by big ticket items (core orders fell 0.3% m/m). This left orders up
2.4% y/y. In the wake of the first round of the French presidential election the Sentix investor sentiment index rose another
3.5pts to 127.4. This marks one of the highest readings in the history of the survey and is the highest reading since July 2007.
Meanwhile, speaking in Tokyo, ECB Executive Board member Yves Mersch said “The recovery in the euro area is gaining
more and more traction,…The confirmation of a broadly balanced risk outlook for growth is within reach”. Today, we will
receive March industrial production and trade reports in Germany, as well as March retail sales in Italy.
24-HOUR VIEW: 1-3 WEEKS VIEW:
Expectation for sideway trading was wrong as EUR dropped
sharply after hitting a high of 1.1023 earlier yesterday
morning. The decline appears to be running ahead of itself
and while a test of 1.0900 would not be surprising, a move
below last week’s low near 1.0870 seems unlikely. That said,
EUR has to move back above 1.0950 to indicate that the
decline has stabilized.
Bullish: Diminished odds for further EUR strength.
Despite breaking above the major 1.1000 resistance (high of
1.1023 early yesterday), EUR closed lower and registered a
‘bearish outside bar’. The development came as a surprise
and does not bode well for the current bullish view (that
started on 26 Apr, spot at 1.0930). A break below 1.0900
would indicate that a short-term top is in place at 1.1023.
Until then, another push higher is not ruled out even though
the odds for such a move have diminished (1.1020/25 is
expected to offer solid resistance from here).

GBP/USD: 1.2945
Cable was pulled lower by EUR/USD, with the pair falling below the 1.2950-figure overnight. Notably, British house price
growth remains at its weakest level for nearly four years, mortgage lender Halifax said on Monday, echoing other signs of a
slowdown in the housing market amid uncertainty about the impact of Brexit on the economy. House prices rose 3.8% in the
three months to April compared with the same period a year ago, the same pace as in March which was the weakest increase
since May 2013. Prices fell by 0.1% between March and April, the first monthly decline since January, and were down 0.2% in
the three months to April compared with the previous three months, the first such fall since 2012, Halifax said.
24-HOUR VIEW: 1-3 WEEKS VIEW:
The major 1.3000 resistance was unthreatened as GBP
pulled back sharply from a high of 1.2990. A short-term top is
likely in place and the current movement is viewed as part of
a consolidation phase. In other words, GBP is expected to
trade sideways for today, likely at a lower range of
1.2910/1.2970.
Neutral: Bullish again if daily closing above 1.3000.
As indicated yesterday, despite the overall positive
undertone, GBP has to close above 1.3000 to indicate that it
has moved into a bullish phase again. While the odds are not
high, this scenario is not ruled out as long as the strong
support at 1.2880 can hold for the next 1 to 2 days.

Australia's April retail sales came in at -0.1% m/m vs 0.3% expected and -0.2% (revised lower) last, while retails sales ex-
inflation q/q for Q1 arrived at 0.1% versus 0.50% expected and 0.90% previous. Australia continues to rely heavily on consumer
spending, with consumption the main driver of the domestic recovery in the final quarter of 2016 and will account for a large
share of the nation’s growth moving forward. Later in the day, the Australian government will present the 2017-18 Budget, which
is expected to pledge corporate taxes, an increase in public spending and various other measures designed to boost economic
growth.

AUD traded sideways as expected albeit at a narrower range
than anticipated. The consolidation phase appears
incomplete and further range trading is expected, likely
between 0.7365 and 0.7430.
Bearish: To take partial profit at 0.7335/40.
AUD traded in a muted manner yesterday and there is not
much to add. As highlighted, the combination of waning
momentum and oversold conditions suggest that any further
down-move would likely face difficulty in moving below the
major 0.7330 support. Those who are short when the
bearish phase started last Thursday (see Chart of the Day
update on 04 May, spot at 0.7430) should look to book
some partial profit ahead of 0.7330 (say near 0.7335/40).
Stop-loss is adjusted lower to 0.7450 from 0.7470.

NZD/USD: 0.6920
NZD remains supported ahead of this week's RBNZ meeting. Since the last RBNZ rate decision, the key domestic economic
development has been the stronger-than-expected Q1 CPI print. This, alongside a lower NZD should see the RBNZ lift its
inflation forecasts. However, we expect the central bank to remain firmly on hold and take a cautious approach with its policy
rate outlook.
24-HOUR VIEW: 1-3 WEEKS VIEW:
We indicated yesterday that “any further extension is unlikely
to move significantly above 0.6940”. NZD touched a high of
0.6945 before dropping quickly to hit an overnight low of
0.6896. The subsequent swing higher from the low appears
to have scope to extend higher but at this stage, a sustained
up-move above 0.6945/50 seems unlikely. Support is near
the overnight low at 0.6895 but the stronger level is closer to
0.6880.
Neutral: In a 0.6840/0.6955 range. [No change in view, see update from yesterday below]
NZD closed on a strong note last Friday and the recent
downward pressure has eased. This pair has likely moved
into a sideway consolidation phase and is expected to trade
sideways between 0.6840 and 0.6955 for now.

USD/JPY: 113.20
USD/JPY edged lower in the European morning as European equities gave up early gains but did manage a rally from around
112.40, returning to the 113 handle. Japan's March real wages fell at the fastest pace in almost two years, pressured by
meagre nominal pay hikes and a slight rise in consumer prices, posing a setback for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's attempts to
revitalize the economy. Inflation-adjusted real wages dropped 0.8% in March from a year earlier to mark their biggest rate of
decline since June 2015. In nominal terms, wage earners' cash earnings fell 0.4% y/y in March, also notching the biggest rate
of decrease since June 2015.

24-HOUR VIEW: 1-3 WEEKS VIEW:
USD dipped to a low of 112.36 before surging to close at
113.24, just below the day’s high at 113.29. The strong rally
appears to be running ahead of itself and while an intraday
move above 113.50 is not ruled out, a sustained move above
this strong resistance is not expected (next resistance at
113.80. Support is at 112.90 followed by 112.60. The low of
112.36 is not expected to come into the picture.
Neutral: Bullish again if daily closing above 113.50.
We just shifted from a bullish to neutral stance yesterday and
there is no change to the view. That said, the sharp overnight
swing higher came a surprise and this has shifted the
immediate pressure to the upside. From here, a daily closing
above 113.50 would indicate that USD has re-entered a
bullish phase. While the odds for such a move are not high
for now, the upward pressure would increase quickly as long
as the short-term support at 112.60 can hold for the next few
days.
