USD/CNH: Bearish momentum nears key supports – OCBC
OCBC strategists Sim Moh Siong and Christopher Wong note that USD/CNH has fallen sharply on a stronger Chinese Yuan (CNY) fix and improved risk sentiment following the US-Iran ceasefire. They still expect a measured pace of CNH (Offshore Renminbi) appreciation but highlights key technical supports around 6.82 and below. Wong stresses close monitoring of the daily fix and the upcoming Trump-Xi meeting in Beijing.
RMB appreciation trend tests support
"USD/CNH fell sharply overnight, taking cues from a much stronger CNY fix (6.8680 vs. 6.8854 the day before). This is also the lowest USD/CNY fix since Apr 2023, reinforcing the trend of guided RMB appreciation since Apr 2025."
"Elsewhere, broader sentiment switched to risk-on, following the 2-week ceasefire deal and triggered an unwinding in safe-haven USD demand."
"While we continue to look for a measured pace of RMB appreciation, we would still watch the fix closely for any signs to moderate the pace or to increase the pace of appreciation especially as we inch closer to Trump-Xi meeting in Beijing on 14-15 May."
"USD/CNH last seen at 6.8335 levels."
"Immediate support around 6.8200/70 levels (double bottom). Decisive break out puts next support at 6.81, 6.79 levels."

1. Cross-asset performance diverged this week. Between the October 30 and November 6 closes, the S&P 500 fell 2.68%, the Nasdaq 100 dropped 4.91%, and BTC lost 1.88%. Gold and silver rose 4.51% and 5.79%, respectively, while the Hang Seng gained 5.10%. Sharp declines in crude oil and some Asian equity indexes showed how differently assets responded to growth, policy, and event risks. 2. Democrats won majorities in both chambers of Congress in the US midterm elections, and markets rallied before reversing. We focus on actual changes in fiscal negotiations, key committee arrangements, and local industrial policy, especially data-center approvals, energy costs, and the pace of capital expenditure. We do not map party outcomes directly to asset direction. 3. The pullback in technology stocks has put returns on AI investment under renewed scrutiny. Whether rapid growth can cover financing, construction, and ongoing compute costs is becoming a key valuation test. For related positions, monitor policy implementation, customer capital expenditure, and cash collection together, and do not read a one-day rebound as a sign that the pressure has passed. 4. Anthropic's IPO preparations are putting the growth quality, operating profitability, and funding needs of AI model companies under public-market scrutiny. Valuations discussed for the offering are not final pricing, and participating in related products also requires assessing fees, allocation methods, asset rights, and trading restrictions. Assets in focus: BTC, the Nasdaq 100, crude oil, and gold, along with key earnings from companies including CSCO, AMAT, and CEG
