Swiss Franc rises broadly today as risk aversion stays in the markets, even though Yen is firm but relatively unmoved. Sterling also recovers with help from stronger than expected wage growth. On the other hand, New Zealand and Canadian Dollars are the weakest while Australian is not too far away. Though, it should noted that Dollar is soft today despite stronger than expected inflation reading. It seems that pickup in inflation wouldn't stop Fed for further easing should trade tensions escalate further. Technically, USD/CHF's break of 0.9695 support should indicate resumption of fall from 1.0237 to 0.9587 fibonacci level. EUR/CHF also breaks 1.0863 support to resume recent down trend to 1.0645 projection level. Yen crosses would be the focus today, in particular with it's correlation to treasury yields. Further decline in 10- and 30-year yields in US could drag Yen crosses lower, in particular USD/JPY. In Europe, currently, FTSE is down -0.81%. DAX is down -1.16%. CAC is down -0.72%. German 10-year yield is down -0.0169%. German 10-year yield is down -0.0169 at -0.606. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei dropped -1.11%. Hong Kong HSI dropped -2.10%. China Shanghai SSE dropped -0.63%. Singapore Strait Times dropped -0.70%. Japan 10-year JGB yield dropped -0.0147 to -0.234. |
