Sterling remains the overwhelmingly weakest one on no-deal Brexit concerns. New Prime Minister Boris Johnson is pushing EU to re-open Brexit negotiation. But there is no sign from EU on a position shift yet. Australian and New Zealand Dollars are the next weakest as markets turn into risk averse mode. On the other hand, Swiss Franc is the strongest one, followed Euro. Dollar is mixed as today's US core PCE inflation reading is not enough to alter Fed's decision to cut interest rate tomorrow. Technically, selloff in Australian Dollar intensifies in early US session on risk aversion. AUD/USD is on track to retest 0.6831 support. EUR/AUD is pressing 1.6231 resistance and break will confirm completion of corrective fall from 1.6448 at 1.5894. Further rise could then be seen back to retest 1.6448. In other markets, US stocks open mildly lower with DOW down -0.30% at the time of writing. 10-year yield is flat at 2.066. In Europe, FTSE is down -0.41%. DAX is down -2.23%. CAC is down -1.62%. German 10-year yield is down -0.0053 % -0.394. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei rose 0.43%. Hong Kong HSI rose 0.14%. China Shanghai rose 0.39%. Singapore Strait Times rose 0.12%. Japan 10-year JGB yield dropped -0.0044 to -0.151. |
