The fund holds minority stakes in major state-owned enterprises, with $10 billion of foreign investment in minerals over nine years.

Equity fundraising accelerates as investment flows reshape Uzbekistan sectors

The Uzbekistan National Investment Fund is preparing to list on both the London and Tashkent stock exchanges, marking a significant step in the country's economic liberalization by transitioning from debt to equity funding. Established by the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the fund holds minority stakes in some of Uzbekistan's major state-owned enterprises. Over the past nine years, approximately $10 billion in foreign investment has flowed into Uzbekistan's mineral and metallurgical sector, which features more than 2,700 identified mineral deposits and about 900 under active development.

Technical resistance intensifies as momentum indicators favor sellers

Technically, USD/UZS is trading above the MA-20 and MA-200, but just under the MA-50, suggesting upward pressure in the very short term, but with resistance at intermediate timeframes. The immediate support is defined by the Ichimoku Kijun level at 12,156.58. Most momentum indicators display weakness: MACD and ADX D1 are neutral or negative, while D1 RSI, CCI, and Awesome Oscillator remain bearish. However, Stoch RSI is flashing a buy signal and BBP on D1 is oversold, indicating sellers have dominated recently, but a technical bounce is possible. The price is currently near the top of today’s range, with volatility appearing moderate.

Consolidation risk rises as breakout probability remains subdued

In the short term, the typical volatility band is expected between 12,055 and 12,200, encompassing the current price. Given persistent weakness in RSI, ADX, MACD, and on the moving averages, the probability of an upward breakout is low (less than 20%), so consolidation or a downward move is more likely this week. For upside to develop, USD/UZS would need to close above 12,200 resistance; a drop below 12,055 could trigger further declines.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, analyst at Traders Union, sees constructive signals for USD/UZS amid Uzbekistan’s ongoing economic reforms and equity market liberalization. He notes the currency pair is showing mild short-term bullishness, but technical resistance at the $12,200 level limits upside momentum for now. Macro and fundamental factors look supportive, though most momentum indicators still signal weakness. He expects the pair to consolidate in the current range unless a clear move above $12,200 occurs. "Strong institutional steps like the investment fund listing boost long-term optimism, but near-term gains require a sustained break above resistance."
