24-hour view: “We expected USD to trade between 6.3590 and 6.3740 yesterday. USD subsequently traded within a wider range than expected (6.3520/6.3690) before closing largely unchanged at 6.3634 (+0.03%). Despite closing largely unchanged, the underlying tone appears to have firmed somewhat and USD could edge higher from here. That said, any advance is expected to face solid resistance at 6.3750. Support is at 6.3600 followed by 6.3550.”
