Yen traders broadly lower today as risk appetite extends from Asia markets to Europe and then US. Dollar is following as the second weakest and then Swiss Franc. Meanwhile, New Zealand, Australian and Canadian Dollars are the strongest one. The development is pretty normal on a "risk-on" day. Sterling turns mixed as Brexit optimism rally lost momentum as the pound is pressing key resistance against Dollar and Euro. Euro also turned mixed as impact from yesterday's ECB meeting fades. Technically, GBP/USD and EUR/GBP will be key focus today, and probably early next week too. GBP/USD is pressing 1.3174, which is close to 1.3149 fibonacci level. EUR/GBP is pressing 0.8620 key support too. For now, we'd still expect the Pound to pull back from the current level but we'll see. Another development to note is the turn in Dollar. Most notably, AUD/USD seems to have completed the pull back from 0.7235 earlier than expected. USD/CAD's recovery from 1.3180 might have completed yesterday too. Meanwhile, EUR/USD is having an eye on 1.1341 resistance and break will indicate short term bottoming. In other markets, US futures point to another day of strong rally. In Europe, FTSE is currently up 0.21%, DAX is up 1.58%, CAC is up 1.03%. German 10 year yield is up 0.0158 at 0.2101, back above 0.2 handle. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei rose 0.97%. Hong Kong HSI rose 1.65%. China Shanghai SSE rose 0.39%. Singapore Strait Times rose 0.36%. Japan 10-year JGB yield dropped -0.0106 to 0.00%. |
