USD: Some notable reversals in the Scandies

Sep-19 13:01
  • Since the Dollar is seeing further upside momentum, this has been the direction of travel Today, and a continuation since Yesterday's US IJC beat.
  • The focus should be on the Scandies, both the SEK and the NOK are extending lows, the Stokkie now by 1% and the Nokkie by 0.82%.
  • The NOK was one of the best performing Currency within G10 so far in September, and the USDNOK is now looking at extending its bounce back towards the 10.0000 handle, the initial resistance.
  • We noted this Week that the SEK held the Crown as the best Currency against the USD Year To Date, which it still does, but has now paired some gains to be up 17.25% for that period, from a ~20% high on Wednesday.
  • Immediate resistance in the USDSEK comes at the September high, near 9.5000.
