Trading in the currency markets are relatively subdued today as US is on holiday. Major volatility is seen in the bond markets, as German 10-year yield hits another record low. Expectations on ECB easing continues to intensify, with an official explicitly calling for action now. Swiss Franc is currently the strongest one, followed by Yen and then Canadian Dollar. On the other hand, New Zealand Dollar and Australian Dollar are the weakest. But the picture at weekly close could be changed drastically with non-farm payroll report tomorrow. Technically, USD/CAD will be a major focus as it seems to be finally breaking 1.3052/68 cluster support zone. Sustained break will carry medium term bearish implications. EUR/CAD has taken out 2018 low of 1.4759 support earlier this week. It would now be targeting 1.4253 projection level in medium term. In Europe, currently, FTSE is up 0.02%. DAX is up 0.13%. CAC is up 0.06%. German 10-year yield is down -0.0139 at -0.396. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei rose 0.30%. Hong Kong HSI dropped -0.21%. China Shanghai SSE dropped -0.33%. Singapore Strait Times rose 0.13%. Japan 10-year JGB yield rose 0.0023 to -0.155. |
