Global equities rebound and are paring back some of this week's steep losses ahead of weekly close. Dollar is also recovering, in particular against Euro and Sterling. US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin comment on Fed also helped give the greenback a mild lift. But for today, Canadian and Australian Dollar are the strongest one so far, while Dollar is the third. On the other hand, Sterling is the weakest one, followed by Euro. At the time of writing, US futures point to sharply higher open, with triple digit gain in DOW. FTSE is up 0.74%, DAX up 0.74% and CAC up 0.81%. German-Italian spread stays above 300. Italian 10 year yield is down -0.025 at 3.545. German 10 year yield is down -0.008 at 0.512. Earlier today, all major Asian indices closed with gains. Nikkei rose 0.46%, Singapore Strait Times up 0.71%> Hong Kong HSI added 2.21%. China Shanghai SSE gained 0.91% to 2606.91, but still below prior key support at 2638. Technically, with Dollar's rebound, focus is now turned to 1.1534 minor support in EUR/USD and 1.3132 minor support in GBP/USD. Break of these two levels will indicate completion of this week's rebound and could trigger more upside in the greenback. |
