Asian markets are generally lifted by confirmation that US-China trade talk is going to resume next month. Commodity currencies gain most as led by Australian Dollar. Swiss Franc and Yen are pressured in risk seeking environment naturally. But Sterling also turns softer on overnight condition. It's getting much more likely that no-deal Brexit could be averted on October 31. Yet, the UK parliament is still unclear on what it truly wants regarding Brexit. Dollar is mixed as focus will turn to services and job data. Technically, USD/CAD and USD/CHF could have completed recent rebound at 1.3382 and 0.9929 respectively. More downside is now mildly in favor for both pairs. AUD/USD is pressing 0.6822 resistance and break will extend the rebound from 0.6677. But there is no confirmation of weakness in Dollar against Euro, Yen and even Sterling. Talking about Yen, despite today's rebound, EUR/JPY is held below 117.91 resistance, GBP/JPY by 130.89 resistance, USD/JPY by 106.73 resistance. More is needed to confirm selling momentum in Yen. In Asia, Nikkei rose 2.12%. Hong Kong HSI is down -0.62%. China Shanghai SSE is up 1.25%. Singapore Strait Times is up 0.38%. Japan 10-year JGB yield is up 0.0148 at -0.269. Overnight, DOW rose 0.91%. S&P 500 rose 1.08%. NASDAQ rose 1.30%. 10-year yield dropped -0.007 to 1.459. |
