Yen strengthens broadly today, mainly follows decline in major benchmark yields. German 10-year yield hit another record low at -0.597. US 10-year yield also breaks 1.7 handle. Yields are pressured after deeper the surprised -50bps cut by RBNZ and expectation of more global central bank easing. Asian stocks ended mixed while European indices recover today. But weakness in US stocks could eventually drag sentiments down again. For now, Swiss Franc is the second strongest, followed by Euro. Meanwhile, commodity currencies are the weakest, led by New Zealand Dollar. Technically, USD/CAD is picking up upside momentum in early US session and it's on track for 1.3432 resistance next. GBP/JPY's recovery from 128.11 temporary low could have completed and break will resume recent decline for 122.36 support next. Both USD/JPY and USD/CHF weaken slightly in early US session. Break of 105.52 and 0.9703 will resume recent declines too. In Europe, currently, FTSE is up 0.30%. DAX is up 0.51%. CAC is up 0.64%. German 10-year yield is down -0.058 at -0.589. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei dropped -0.33%. Hong Kong HSI rose 0.08%. China Shanghai SSE dropped -0.32%. Singapore Strait Times rose 0.45%. Japan 10-year JGB yield dropped -0.0161 to -0.197. |
