Commodity currencies remain the strongest ones for today with help from mild risk appetite. Dollar is trying to recover on stronger than expected manufacturing data, but no follow through buying is seen yet. The greenback will need more positive data release to offset recent selling pressure. On the other hand, Sterling is leading Euro lower today. In particular, the Pound looks rather vulnerable ahead of important economic data this week, including employment, CPI and retail sales. Technically, EUR/GBP bounces off 0.8954 minor support today. Thus, there is no indicate of near term reversal yet. Recent rise might extend through 0.9010 temporary top. But we'd continue to expect strong resistance from 0.9101 to limit upside. With selloff in the Pound, GBP/JPY is heading back to 135.07 temporary low and break will resume recent decline. AUD/USD is still eying 0.7047 resistance to confirm rally resumption. In Europe, currently, FTSE is up 0.44%. DAX is up 0.48%. CAC is up 0.17%. German 10-year yield is down -0.0316 at -0.242. Earlier in Asia, Hong Kong HSI rose 0.29%. China Shanghai SSE rose 0.40%. Singapore Strait Times dropped -0.28%. Japan was on holiday. |
