FX Thoughts for the day - 25-Aug-2008 -1140 GMT

USD-CHF @ 1.0984/88... Resistance at 1.1035 held again.
--------------------------------------------
R: 1.1000-25 / 1.1040-50 / 1.1100
S: 1.0975-50 / 1.0900-880 / 1.0850 / 1.0800
A rise in the pair has once again been restricted to 1.1035, where it faces a strong Resistance. Since then, a dip towards 1.097 has been seen.

Later in the day, expect a further dip towards 1.0955 where the pair has some Support and a rise from there could be seen once again to test the Resistance. A sip below 1.09, unlikely for now, could attract buying interest in the 1.0840 region.


GBP-USD @ 1.8495/99... Could rise towards 1.8564
------------------------------------------------
R: 1.8500 / 1.8560-80 / 1.8620-60
S: 1.8420 / 1.8365-50 / 1.8300
A small rise since morning has been seen in the pair. For the day, Cable could see a further rise towards the Max High for the day at 1.8564. The Support at 1.8480 is essential for the rise towards 1.8564 to materialize.

Overall the pair continues to remain in a downtrend and is expected to slide further towards 1.83 in the days to come. The UK economy has seen no growth in the last quarter and could continue to face further growth related and housing related issues.

BOE has still not shifted focus from inflation to growth. However, now there could be some rate-cutting action in the days to come, which could eventually take the pair further lower.


AUD-USD @ 0.8674/78... Could rise towards 0.88
-------------------------------------------
R: 0.8721 / 0.8765 / 0.8800 / 0.8850-65
S: 0.8650-25 / 0.8600 / 0.8581
Aussie had faced major Resistance on a rise to 0.88 last week. However, since then a fall towards 0.8614 has been seen. For the day ahead, a rise towards 0.8721, Max High for the day could be seen. Similarly a further rise towards 0.8750-0.88 cannot be ruled out completely as the Moving Averages are flat and indicating towards the possibility of a rise again.
