Sterling remains rather resilient despite more Brexit negative news today. There seems to be no progress on negotiation at all and there is little hope for a November EU summit. Nonetheless, the Pound defies gravity and is trading as the second strongest one today. Australian Dollar is the strongest as supported by upbeat RBA statement released earlier today. On the hand other, Canadian Dollar and Dollar are the weakest ones. The greenback is notably softer as markets await the result of US mid-term elections. Stock markets are also mixed. At the time of writing, FTSE is down -1.06%, possibly mainly due to Sterling's rally. DAX is down -0.42% and CAC is down -0.52%. German 10 year yield is up 0.001 at 0.430. Italian 10 year yield is up 0.080 at 3.403. German-Italian spread is marginally below 300. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei closed up 1.14% at 22147.75. Hong Kong HSI closed up 0.72% at 26120.96. But China Shanghai SSE dropped -0.23% at 2659.36. Technically, USD/JPY breached 113.38 resistance earlier today but traders refused to commit so far. Similarly, EUR?GBP also breached 0.8722 support but recovered quickly. These are some signs of hesitation. Though, the Dollar appears to weaken against Euro and Swiss Franc in early US session. And the development suggests that Dollar is now in another leg down as correction extends. |
