The post Taiwan Dollar: Policy-driven flows temper losses against US Dollar – OCBC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. OCBC’s Christopher Wong reports that recent Taiwan Dollar (TWD) weakness is moderating, partly due to Central Bank of the Republic of China (CBC) guidance that banks execute large USD sell orders immediately, bringing forward natural supply. However, foreign equity selling and dividend-related USD demand still restrain recovery, with USD/TWD two-way moves likely. Upside momentum pauses as USD supply emerges “Recent weakness in TWD shows tentative signs of moderation. Part of the moderation may reflect the earlier CBC guidance for banks to execute large USD sell orders on the day received, rather than delaying or staggering them.” “This could have helped bring forward natural USD supply and temper the pace of TWD weakness.” “Still, the broader flow backdrop has not turned decisively positive, with foreign equity selling (week-to-date USD4.3bn) and dividend/remittance-r

The post Taiwan Dollar: Flow-driven weakness with policy support – OCBC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. OCBC Bank’s Sim Moh Siong and Christopher Wong note that Taiwan Dollar (TWD) remains on the back foot, with USD/TWD above 32, driven mainly by foreign equity selling and dividend/remittance-related US Dollar (USD) demand rather than weaker fundamentals. Authorities are encouraging quicker execution of large USD sell orders to mobilise natural supply, while exporter USD selling and CBC guidance may reduce the risk of a disorderly move higher in USD/TWD. Vulnerable on flows but disorderly spike risk tempered “TWD has stayed on the back foot, with USD/TWD breaking above the 32 handle.
