The markets are trading in mild risk averse mode ahead of quarter end. There are some worries of financial decoupling of US and China even though it's just at very preliminary stage. But selloff is limited with support from improvements in Chinese PMIs. Yen is trading generally firmer. On the other hand, New Zealand Dollar is additionally pressured by its own poor business confidence data, followed by Australian as second weakest. Dollar is mixed for now, awaiting some important data in the week ahead. Technically, Sterling's weakness will be a focus today. GBP/USD is pressing 1.2283 support while GBP/JPY is pressing 132.17 support. Break of these level will pave the way to 1.1958 and 126.54 lows respectively. Australian Dollar will also be an interesting one to watch ahead of tomorrow's RBA rate cut. AUD/USD is on track to retest 0.6677 low as long as 0.6806 minor resistance holds. EUR/AUD is also in favor to break through 1.6301 to 1.6786, as long as 1.6128 minor support holds. In Asia, Nikkei is currently down -0.79%. Hong Kong HSI is up 0.70%. China Shanghai SSE is down -0.16%. Singapore Strait Times is down -0.21%. Japan 10-year JGB yield is up 0.0178 at -0.216. |
