US CPI data for Aug-23 inched up at 3.71% (Headline CPI, Y/Y%) from 3.30% seen for July-23. But no major movement is seen on the Dollar index which has scope to rise above 105 in the near term. Euro also has scope to fall below 107 while below 1.08. USDJPY and EURJPY can trade within 146-148 and 159-156 respectively. Aussie and Pound can trade within 0.6350-0.65 and 1.24-1.26 region. USDCNY could rise to 7.30 above support at 7.2630. USDRUB is fluctuating highly within 92.50-98 amongst the war situation where news of fresh attacks from Ukraine to Russia hit the news headlines. EURINR trades above 89 and could move up slowly towards 89.50 or higher. USDINR can rise to 83.10 while above 82.80. Also watch ECB Policy statement today to see if the central bank talks of continued rate hikes or pause as hinted in July-23.

Dollar Index (104.688) has been trading below 105 for the last few sessions and could have scope for a rise towards 106 soon. Downside can be limited to 104.50-104. Overall near term view continues to be bullish.

EURUSD (1.0737) is holding above 1.07 and has scope to turn lower while below 1.08. Only a break above 1.08 would make it bullish for the medium term.

Aussie (0.6430) is holding well above support at 0.6350 and while the support holds, there is scope for a rise towards 0.65 in the medium term.

Pound (1.2494) could continue trade within the narrow range of 1.24-1.26 for the next few sessions. A break on either is needed thereafter to give more clarity on further direction.
