Mid-Day Report: Dollar Range-Bound after Mixed Economic Data

Dollar remains steady in range in early US session after release of mixed economic data. The headline CPI moderated more than expected to 1.1% yoy in February while core CPI was unchanged at 1.6% yoy. Housing starts rose less than expected to 0.91m annualized rate in February while building permits rose more than expected to 1.02m. The FOMC meeting tomorrow will be the next focus from US. US dataflow has been disappointing over the past weeks. Yet, it doesn't seem to waver the Fed's plans to reduce the stimulus measures. Policymakers are expected to reduce the asset purchases by USD 10b to USD 55b per month in March. On the forward guidance, with the jobless rate approaching the Fed's threshold of 6.5%, policymakers should revise its language in this meeting, possibly making it more "qualitative".

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea: USD/CHF - Hold long entered at 0.8730

Dollar's retreat after yesterday's rebound to 0.8756 has retained our view that further consolidation would be seen but as long as last week's low of 0.8699 holds, mild upside bias remains for another rebound, above resistance at 0.8765 would add credence to our view that a temporary low is formed there and bring retracement of recent decline towards 0.8800-05 and later 0.8816-21

Trade Idea Update: USD/JPY - Sell at 102.05

Although the greenback slipped again and test of support at 101.20-21 cannot be ruled out, break there is needed to extend the decline from 103.76 to 100.95-00 but loss of near term downward momentum should prevent sharp move below another previous support at 100.76 and reckon 100.50 would hold from here. If said support continues to hold, then further consolidation is in store and another corrective rebound is likely
