Dollar trades generally higher today as risk markets stabilized, partly helped by recovery in treasury yields too. Economic data from US generally matched expectations. Markets also shrugged off repeated comments from US and China regarding trade war. Though, at the time of writing, Canadian Dollar is the strongest one, lifted by rebound in oil price. Yen is the weakest one as stocks are recovering.. Technically,current developments suggests that USD/JPY's consolidation from 109.02 low is in its third leg and further rise is in favor. That might help lift EUR/JPY higher today. Meanwhile, GBP/USD continues to gyrate towards 1.2605 support. EUR/GBP also refuses to retreat deeper below 0.8805 temporary top. The Pound is vulnerable to around of selloff. And that could limit any recovery attempt in GBP/JPY. It's a bit early to call for a breakout. But EUR/USD is edging lower towards 1.1107 support and this level will be watched. In other markets, US stocks open generally higher, with DOW trading up 65 pts at the time of writing. 10-year yield is also up 0.037 at 2.273. We'll see if the recovery could sustain for the whole session. In Europe, FTSE is currently up 0.56%. DAX is up 0.59%. CAC is up 0.56%. German 10-year yield is up 0.014 at -0.161.
