Dollar jumps broadly in early US session after solid gain in retail sales in May, with upward revision in April figures. Yen is following as the second strongest on risk aversion, followed by Canadian Dollar. Geopolitical tensions heightened after US blame Iran for attacks on oil tankers yesterday. New Zealand Dollar is currently the weakest one, as pressured by poor manufacturing PMI. Australian Dollar is the second weakest, followed by Sterling. Technically, EUR/USD's break of 1.1251 minor support suggests that recovery from 1.1107 has completed. And more decline could be seen back to retest 1.1107 low. This follows the break of 122.10 support in EUR/JPY earlier today, which indicates completion of recovery from1 20.78. Focus is now firstly on 136.55 support in GBP/JPY for indicating decline resumption. Nevertheless, USD/JPY looks safe for now with today's recovery. In Europe, FTSE is currently down -0.43%. DAX is down -0.54%. CAC is down -0.26%. German 10-year yield is down -0.005 at -0.244. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei rose 0.40%. Hong Kong HSI dropped -0.65%. China Shanghai SSE dropped -0.99%.
