New Zealand Dollar strengthens broadly today after CPI picked up in Q2. On the other hand, Australian Dollar trades slightly softer after RBA minutes affirmed easing bias. Euro and Dollar strengthen mildly in Asian session. But both will face tests from economic data, including US retail sales and German ZEW. Sterling is also mixed as markets await UK job data. Technically, despite rally attempt this week, AUD/USD and AUD/JPY are both limited below near term resistance at 0.7047 and 76.28 respectively. Buying momentum in Aussie is not too apparent for now. EUR/GBP will be a focus today with Germany and UK data featured. A range breakout is likely. Break of 0.9010 temporary top will resume EUR/GBP's recent rise but we'd expect strong resistance from 0.9101 to limit upside. Meanwhile, break of 0.8954 minor support will indicate near term reversal. In Asia, currently, Nikkei is down -0.64%. Hong Kong HSI is up 0.22%. China Shanghai SSE is down -0.29%. Singapore Strait Times is up 0.15%. Japan 10-year JGB yield is down -0.0048 at -0.119. Overnight, DOW rose 0.10%. S&P 500 rose 0.02%. NASDAQ rose 0.17%. 10-year yield dropped -0.014 to 2.092. |
