Dollar strengthens mildly in early US session as supported by strong personal spending growth in March. Though, upside is capped by steadily cooling core inflation. For now, today's set of data is not decisive enough to trigger a breakout in the greenback yet. Dollar would likely engage in more consolidative trading, awaiting FOMC, ISM indices and NFP later in the day. Staying in the currency markets, Australian and New Zealand Dollars are the strongest one for today so far. Both are just digesting some of recent losses. There is little chance of bullish reversal yet as inflation data from both countries pointed to rate cuts down the road. Yen is the weakest one for today, followed by Swiss Franc as risk sentiments are steady globally, while German 10-year yield recovers. In Europe, currently, FTSE is up 0.23%. DAX is flat. CAC is up 0.05%. German 10-year yield is up 0.0265 at 0.008, turned positive. Earlier in Asia, Hong Kong HSI rose 0.97%. China Shanghai SSE dropped -0.77%. Singapore Strait Times rose 1.49%. Japan started 10-day holiday today. |
