While Dollar has been pressured for most of the day, receding risk aversion seems to be giving in a hand in early US session. The greenback is riding on recovery in both US yield and stocks and trades mildly higher. Adding to that, Chicago Fed President Charles Evans maintains that current interest rate is appropriate. However, St. Louis Fed President James Bullard has come out yesterday and become the first policymaker to call for rate cut already. The greenback will need some more solid economic data to give it sustainable rebound. Staying in the currency markets, Swiss Franc and Yen are so far the weakest one for today as stock markets recovery, naturally. But it's rather mixed elsewhere. RBA cut interest rate earlier today and Governor Philip Lowe indicates more are on the table. But Aussie is just mixed. Euro attempted for rally but was capped by slower than expected CPI reading. UK is, for now, the strongest one even though UK PMI construction dropped back to contraction region. The current markets will need some more time to sort out their directions. Technically, Dollar breached near term support levels against Euro, Aussie and Canadian. But it's refusing to give up for now and no follow through selling is seen yet. Focus remains on 1.1263 in EUR/USD, 0.6988 in AUD/USD and 1.3429 in USD/CAD. In Europe, currently, FTSE is up 0.46%. DAX is up 1.49%. CAC is up 0.67%. German 10-year yield is down -0.0059 at -0.205. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei dropped -0.01%. Hong Kong HSI dropped -0.49%. China Shanghai SSE dropped -0.96%. Singapore Strait Times rose 0.61%. Japan 10-year JGB yield dropped -0.074 to -0.10. |
