Dollar and Yen firm up mildly in Asian session as markets started the month mixed. New round of US-China tariffs took effect over the weekend but market reactions are muted so far. Australian Dollar softens mildly, followed by Swiss Franc and then Sterling. But overall, major forex pairs and crosses bounded inside Friday's range. A major focus will be on EUR/USD, which extended medium term down trend late last week. Technically, EUR/USD broke 1.1026 last week as down trend from 1.2555 resumed. Further fall would now be seen to 1.0683 projection level next. There are a couple of levels to watch to affirm Dollar's underlying momentum. Those include 0.9975 resistance in USD/CHF, 1.3345 resistance in USD/CAD and 0.6677 support in AUD/USD. 106.73 resistance in USD/JPY is also a level to watch. But it's relatively less likely to be taken out based on broad based resilience in Yen. In Asia, Nikkei is down -0.30%. Hong Kong HSI is down -0.37%. China Shanghai SSE is up 1.45%. Singapore Strait Times is down -0.81%. Japan 10-year JGB yield is up 0.009 at -0.268. |
