Canadian Dollar strengthens mildly in early US session and is trading as the strongest one for today so far. Recovery in oil price has been supporting the Loonie through the day. And, further lift is given by stronger than expected CPI reading. Euro is following as the second strongest, partly thanks to recovery in EUR/GBP. Meanwhile, Sterling is paring some of this week's Brexit chaos gains, also pressured by way worse than expected retail sales. Yen is the second weakest on return of risk appetite, on optimism on a US-China trade deal. For the week, Sterling remains the strongest one, followed by Canadian and then Dollar. Swiss Franc is the weakest, followed by Kiwi and then Yen. Technically, a focus before weekly close is on 1.3180 temporary low in USD/CAD. Break will resume the decline from 1.3664 to 1.3118 fibonacci level. 0.9963 in USD/CHF and 1.1340 and EUR/CHF will also be watch for confirming near term bullish reversals in the pairs. DOW futures point to another day of rally in US stocks. That could push Yen crosses higher too. In other markets, FTSE is currently up 1.76%. DAX is up 2.05%. CAC is up 1.65%. German 10 year yield is up 0.0148 at 0.26. Earlier in Asian, Nikkei rose 1.29%. Hong Kong HSI rose 1.25%. China Shanghai SSE rose 1.42%. Singapore Strait Times rose 0.31%.
