Chinese Yuan: Neutral within defined band against US Dollar – UOB
UOB’s Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann report a sharp rebound in USD/CNH above 6.78, which invalidated their prior bearish view. They now see the pair as neutral, expecting consolidation between 6.7620 and 6.7980 near term, with 6.7850 and 6.7980 acting as key resistance levels. On a longer horizon, the rebound still has scope to challenge 6.9720.
Dollar-Yuan rebound shifts stance to neutral
"24-HOUR VIEW: Yesterday, we held the view that USD “is likely to edge higher within a range of 6.7610/6.7710.” We did not expect USD to soar to 6.7817. While the sharp rise appears excessive, there is scope for USD to test 6.7850. The next resistance at 6.7980 is unlikely to come under threat. Support is at 6.7700, followed by 6.7660."
"1-3 WEEKS VIEW: We have held a negative USD view since last week. On Tuesday (02 Jun, spot at 6.7640), we indicated the following: “Downward momentum remains mild, but the decline has not stabilised. Overall, only a breach of 6.7800 (‘strong resistance’) would indicate that the decline has stabilised. Until then, USD could continue to edge lower. The next level to watch is 6.7500.” Yesterday, USD staged a strong rebound and broke above 6.7800, printing a high of 6.7817. Downward momentum has faded, and we are neutral on USD now, and expect it to trade between 6.7620 and 6.7980 for the time being."

After the 10-year US Treasury yield breaks back above the critical 5% mark, it is more likely to usher in a period of high-level tug-of-war and accelerated asset differentiation. Especially before energy shocks and the significantly eased large-scale expansion of the US fiscal deficit, the conditions to quickly replicate the sharp yield decline seen at the end of 2023 are not yet fully in place.
Anthropic releases another article: What will the economy look like in the AI era?
Anthropic's economics team has released an AI economic scenario model, centered around three scenarios: moderate and gradual growth, transformative changes with GDP doubling, and an extreme situation with 15% annual growth but massive job losses among knowledge workers. The model treats work as "bundles of tasks" and analyzes AI’s enhancement and substitution effects on different types of tasks. Anthropic emphasizes that the economic outlook for 2030 is not predetermined; the key lies in how the dividends from AI are widely shared.
"New Federal Reserve News Agency": Waller's Rate Hike "Has No Way Back", Trump's "Trust" Faces Test
Nick Timiraos believes that after the higher-than-expected August CPI, the probability of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates this week has surged, while Waller’s hawkish stance on inflation has left himself almost "no leeway." With seven weeks before the election, whether or not Waller raises rates will directly test how long Trump's “trust” in him can last. Previously, Waller maintained a balance between the White House and the Federal Reserve by “talking less and avoiding provocation,” but after this meeting, silence will no longer serve as his shield.
