OANDA senior market analyst Asia Pacific Jeffrey Halley said with the possibility of a 0.75 percentage point cent hike off the table, for now, markets have an excuse to reduce extended US dollar long positions.

OANDA 亚太区高级市场分析师 Jeffrey Halley 表示，鉴于加息 0.75 个百分点的可能性不大，目前，市场有理由减少美元多头头寸。

The US dollar slumped against developing markets and Asian currencies and from a technical perspective, the dollar index should hold around those (levels) and resume its uptrend," he added.

美元兑发展中市场和亚洲货币下跌，从技术角度来看，美元指数应该守住这些（水平）并恢复上升趋势，”他补充道。
