While Dollar is extending it's broad based recovery today, it's Yen's weakness that's worth more of a mention. There is no clear follow through in global stock rally today. Yet Yen is under broad based pressure and it's overtaking Aussie as the weakest one in early US session. Aussie, though, remains pressured as markets brace for tomorrow's RBA meeting and statement. There is no chance for RBA to move interest rate. But the accompanying statement could provide a dovish twist via information on the revised economic projections. Technically, USD/JPY breaks 110.00 resistance and it's resuming the rebound from 104.69. EUR/JPY is also heading to 126 handle as equivalent rebound extends. For now, Dollar is held below near term resistance against Euro, Sterling, Swiss Franc, Aussie and Canadian. Thus, there is no confirmation on bottoming of the greenback yet. Rally in USD/JPY is more due to Yen's own weakness. In European markets, currently, FTSE is up 0.18%. DAX is down -0.27%. CAC is down -0.59%. German 10-year yield is up 0.0055 at 0.173. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei rose 0.46%. Hong Kong HSI rose 0.21%. China started lunar new year holiday already. Singapore Strati Times dropped -0.13%. Japan 10-year JGB yield rose 0.008 to -0.012, staying negative. |
