Dollar trading generally lower today as markets await Fed's highly anticipated rate cut. Though, the greenback is just the second weakest. New Zealand Dollar is the worst performing one for today so far on deteriorating business confidence. Swiss Franc is the third weakest as markets turned mixed. Australian Dollar is lifted by slightly higher CPI reading as well as China manufacturing PMI. Yet, there is no turnaround in the Aussie yet. Canadian Dollar follows as the second strongest, then Sterling. The Pound is paring some losses but no-deal Brexit fear will continue to weigh. Technically, Dollar pairs will be the major focuses today. In particular, EUR/USD is consolidating above 1.1107 key low. USD/CHF is held below 0.9951 resistance. USD/JPY also stays below 108.99 resistance. EUR/USD's support has to be taken out firmly to confirm Dollar buying, better accompanies by break of resistances in USD/CHF and USD/JPY. Elsewhere, in Asian, Nikkei dropped -0.8%. Hong Kong HSI dropped -1.31%. China Shanghai SSE dropped -0.72%. Singapore Strait Times is down -1.29%. Japan 10-year JGB yield is down -0.0033 at -0.154.
