Euro tumbles sharply today as poor PMI data solidifies the case for ECB easing ahead. The central bank is not expected to act tomorrow yet, but some form of indications would likely be provided by President Mario Draghi, on what stimulus would be adopted. For now, Australian Dollar is even weaker as poor PMI data, with weak employment, argues for more RBA rate cut too. On the other hand, Sterling is the strongest one for today, partly helped by free fall in EUR/GBP. Also, the Pound continues to digest the impact of Boris Johnson as UK Prime Minister. Yen is the second strongest one. Dollar is mixed even though next week's US-China trade meeting in Shanghai is confirmed. Technically, EUR/GBP's strong break of 0.8954 confirms short term topping at 0.9501. The cross is now in a corrective phase which could dip below 55 day EMA at 0.8889. AUD/JPY is heading back to 75.13 support. Break will confirm completion of recent corrective recovery from 73.93 and bring retest of this low. In Europe, currently, FTSE is down -0.82%. DAX is up 0.31%. CAC is down -0.43%. German 10-year yield is down -0.0318 at -0.383. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei rose 0.41%. Hong Kong HSI rose 0.20%. China Shanghai SSE rose 0.80%. Singapore Strait Times dropped -0.14%. Japan 10-year JGB yield dropped -0.0002 to -0.148. |
