Euro is sold off broadly today after shocking poor Eurozone and German PMIs. As Markit put, that data could put pressure on ECB to add to its recent stimulus package. Sterling is somewhat dragged down by Euro and is following as the second weakest. On the hand, Yen is the stronger one as lifted by selloff in European stocks too. New Zealand and Australian Dollars are also strong. Meanwhile, Dollar is mixed for now, awaiting fresh inspiration. China's trade delegation announced an abrupt cancellation of US farm visit late last Friday. Bloomberg reported today that such cancellation was done as US request. The news eased worries that last week's deputy level trade meeting ended with a negative turn. Yet still, based on what US President Donald Trump said, he's after a "complete" deal with China, rather than an interim deal with some agricultural purchases. Technically, EUR/USD is still staying in range above 1.0926 despite today's focus. Outlook remains bearish but the pairs need to take out 1.0926 low to confirm down trend resumption. USD/JPY's break of 107.45 minor support is an early sign of completion of rebound from 104.45. Break of 106.68 will confirm this bearish case and target retest of 104.45. EUR/JPY and GBP/JPY will look at equivalent support at 117.55 and 132.17. Break will target 115.68 and 126.54 respectively. In Europe, FTSE is down -0.36%. DAX is down -1.05%. CAC is down -0.99%. German 10-year yield is down -0.052 at -0.57. Earlier in Asia, Japan was on holiday. Hong Kong HSI dropped -0.81%. China Shanghai SSE dropped -0.98%. Singapore Strait Times dropped -0.52%. |
