While risk aversion continued in Asian session, volatility cooled mildly. Major pairs and crosses are staying in relatively tight range. Swiss Franc and Sterling are generally higher while commodity currencies are soft. But the picture for the day could easily change. For the week, dusts have little settled. Yen is trading as the strongest one on risk aversion. Euro, as second strongest, is supported by weakness in Dollar and Italy-EU budget deal. Australian Dollar is the weakest one, followed by Canadian and then New Zealand Dollar. Technically, USD/CHF breached 0.9848 key support but quickly recovered. USD/JPY is close to 110.75 key fibonacci level. Meanwhile, EUR/JPY took out 127.61 support quite firmly yesterday. GBP/JPY also break 141.17 support. More downside is now favored in both Yen crosses. We'll see whether further decline in EUR/JPY and GBP/JPY would drag USD/JPY down. Or, selloff in EUR/JPY and GBP/JPY with rebound in USD/JPY and USD/CHF would drag down EUR/USD and GBP/USD. |
