Key Takeaways
- 1.The USD remains well supported by macro data but upside is capped due to heavy positioning and potential Fed meeting non-event.
- 2.Tactical shift away from long AUDUSD due to near-term USD resilience despite a positive medium-term outlook.
- 3.Interest in volatility-selling strategies for currencies like EURNZD and CHFNOK as broader market volatility remains low.
