Sterling surged sharply today as once against lifted by Brexit. The direct trigger isn't clear but it's believed to be comments by EU Barnier. Dollar is following as the second strongest with help from another set of solid non-farm payroll data. In particular, wage growth beat an already high expectation. Despite a terribly week job report, Canadian Dollar is still trading as the third strongest one. BoC Senior Deputy Governor Carolyn Wilkins assured the market yesterday that it's on track for more rate hike despite NAFTA uncertainties Australian Dollar and New Zealand Dollar are trading as the weakest ones for today. Worries over escalation of US-China trade war are weighing on these two currencies. The public hearing on US 25% tariffs on USD 200B in Chinese goods has completed. Trump is ready to fire another shot any time. And, without a doubt, China's retaliation of USD 60B in US imports will follow. Euro is following as the third weakest for now, partly due to heavy selling in EUR/GBP. Technically, EUR/GBP's break of 0.8937 support now indicates near term reversal. That is, rise from 0.8620 might have completed earlier than expected. Near term outlook is turned bearish for deeper fall. GBP/USD is having its sight on 1.3042 resistance for resuming the corrective rebound form 1.2661. On the other hand, EUR/USD is having its sight on 1.1529 for completing equivalent corrective rebound from 1.1300. USD/CHF looks like having defended 0.9651 support and could recover further towards 0.9766 minor resistance. USD/JPY and USD/CAD could be heading back to 111.82 and 1.3225 resistance respectively. |
