Just scanning through Citi's outlook for the week ... and the word 'consolidate' is jumping out at me
- For the USD, they expect the dollar index may consolidate between 96.29-98.33
- On the AUD ... AUD/USD may consolidate between 0.7235-0.7533
- Cable, more of the same .... GBP/USD may range trade between 1.5330-1.5690
But, it ain't all sideways ... They are bearish on CAD and on yen:
- CAD may further weaken as oil prices may still have downside
- USD/CAD may test higher to 1.3274-1.3464
- JPY may drop upon consolidation as investors may be still waiting for other US data albeit upbeat US job data
- USD/JPY may range trade between 123.52-125.86
