Highlights

Uzbekistan reported robust 7.7% GDP growth in 2025, driven by strong exports and record gold revenues amid ongoing reforms.
Extensive urban planning reforms aim to create a unified decision-making framework and improve Uzbekistan's investment climate.
USD/UZS faces persistent downside pressure, with the pair expected to consolidate between UZS 11,950 and 12,050 over the next week amid bearish technicals and weak trend strength.

Liquidity shifts and reforms reshape sentiment amid continued currency pressure

The Federal Reserve Board published its latest daily interest rates on May 20, 2026, reflecting the current stance of US monetary policy and shaping US dollar liquidity conditions worldwide. In parallel, Uzbekistan continued introducing extensive urban planning reforms, aiming for a coordinated decision-making framework and unified institutional data, in an effort to improve the investment climate and inform future capital allocation. Uzbekistan also reported 7.7% economic growth in 2025, marked by strong export performance and record gold revenues, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Mixed oscillator signals as resistance levels cap bearish momentum

On the technical front, USD/UZS is positioned below the SMA-20 (UZS 12,054.04), SMA-50 (UZS 12,108.27), and SMA-200 (UZS 12,093.31), with the Ichimoku Kijun at UZS 12,046.65 acting as immediate resistance. MACD signals strong sell momentum on both daily and weekly timeframes, while ADX reads neutral on the daily and bearish on the weekly scale, indicating weak trend strength. RSI on the daily chart is near neutral with a mild buy bias, and both Stoch RSI and CCI remain mostly neutral. BBP is flagged as overbought on D1, highlighting short-term buyer presence amidst overall lack of alignment among oscillators and momentum indicators.

Limited upside as range-bound consolidation persists with downside bias

Over the next five trading days, USD/UZS is likely to remain within a typical volatility band of UZS 11,950 to 12,050. Probability of a short-term price increase is low, with the baseline expectation for sideways consolidation inside this corridor. A break above UZS 12,047 would set the stage for a bullish reversal, while a drop below UZS 11,950 could accelerate selling. Broader risk continues to lean to the downside, given persistent bearish signals on higher timeframes.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees further pressure on USD/UZS despite Uzbekistan’s resilient macro data. He notes that technicals remain weak, and fundamental improvements have not yet shifted market sentiment. Kharitonov believes only a decisive break above UZS 12,047 would challenge his cautious view. "Until price establishes support above key moving averages, I remain defensive and see limited upside for USD/UZS."

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/UZS was experiencing persistent bearish pressure amid weak momentum and cautious sentiment. The current environment, marked by sustained technical signals and evolving macroeconomic trends, reinforces the downside risk scenario, with traders advised to watch for a decisive move below UZS 11,950 as a potential trigger for further selling.
