Dollar Dips as Durables Dropped Steepest in Nearly a Year

Dollar weakens in early US session after release of disappointing economic data. Durable goods orders in US fell sharply by -7.3% in July, much worse than expectation of -3.6%. That's also the largest decline since last August and snapped three consecutive months of expansions. Ex-transport orders also dropped -0.6% versus consensus of 0.5%. Dollar index recovered to 81.51 earlier today but dipped back to 81.30 below the release. 10 year yield dips further today and breached 2.8% level. Stock futures also point to a slightly lower opening.

USD/JPY Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 98.35; (P) 98.75; (R1) 99.11; More...
USD/JPY dips mildly in early US session and intraday bias is turned neutral first. A temporary top is in place at 99.14 and some consolidations would be seen. But another rise remains mildly in favor as long as 96.90 support holds. Above 99.14 will target 99.94 first and break will confirm completion of the pull back from 101.53 at 95.80 and should send the pair through 101.53 resistance. The overall outlook is unchanged as price actions from 103.73 is viewed as a consolidation pattern and rebound from 93.78 is treated as the second leg. Hence, in that case, we'd expect strong resistance from 103.73 to bring reversal and starts another fall to extend the consolidation. Meanwhile, below 96.90 minor support will turn bias to the downside for 95.80 and below.

Trade Idea Update: USD/CHF - Hold long entered at 0.9200

Despite Friday's fall from 0.9263 to 0.9190, as temporary low has been formed at 0.9147 earlier last week, consolidation with mild upside bias remains for another rebound, above said resistance would add credence to this view, bring test of 0.9290 resistance (last week's high), a sustained breach of this level would confirm and bring retracement of recent decline to 0.9300-05 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 0.9396-0.9147) and possibly 0.9330-40
