The forex markets are rather steady in tight range in Asian session today. Over the week, Sterling is the weakest as Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Brexit proposal appeared to be unwelcome by EU. And he's facing fresh rebellions from his cabinet. Investors are a bit uneasy as political tensions between US and China heat up ahead of this week's trade talks. US stock markets are broadly pressured overnight, carrying through to Asia. Though, there is no committed buying in Yen, nor Swiss Franc on risk aversion yet. Technically, near term bearishness in the Pound is building up as GBP/USD is heading towards 1.1958 support. GBP/JPY is also targeting 126.54 low. EUR/USD's recovery from 1.0879 appears to be completed at 1.1000 and further fall is likely to retest 1.0879. EUR/JPY is also a pair to watch as break of 117.07 would extend the fall from 120.01 to retest 115.86 low. Developments in EUR/USD and EUR/JPY could be indications on overall direction in Euro. In Asia, Nikkei dropped -0.61%. Hong Kong HSI is down -0.64%. China Shanghai SSE is up 0.21%. Singapore Strait Times is down -0.69%. Japan 10-year JGB is down -0.0072 to -0.208. Overnight, DOW dropped -1.19%. S&P 500 dropped -1.56%. NASDAQ dropped -1.67%. 10-year yield dropped -0.004 to -2.041. |
