Technical Analysis

After hitting our core rally target at DXY 97 we have noted cracks in USD strength and transitioning into some USD short positions. More importantly we outlined USD/CNH weakness from our turn target at 6.94 with pressure mounting to break below 6.80 and press on the bigger 6.70 support. This sequence is a positive for metals (gold, copper and palladium) that is expected to lift linked assets this week and after a September draw down we see scope for metals to perform in October. WTI remains bullish in our work and leading the rally sequence.We run through some stock long themes in Asia in a webcast.
