Swiss Franc and Yen weaken broadly again today as risk appetite returns to markets. In particular, US stocks are set to challenge record high, on trade optimism, as well as expectation of another Fed rate cut. European stocks, except FTSE, also rise mildly as EU agreed on a three-month Brexit flextension. Staying in the currency markets, Euro is currently the strongest for today, followed by Australian Dollar. Technically, USD/JPY will likely challenge 108.93 temporary top. Break will resume recent rise from 104.45 to 109.31 key structural resistance next. USD/CHF is on track to retest 1.0027 resistance. EUR/CHF will be a pair to watch today. It's staying below 1.1062 key cluster resistance so far, even though the choppy recovery form 1.0811 extended. Sustained break of 1.1062 will carry larger bullish implication and be an early sign of trend reversal. Focus will immediately be back on 1.1162 support turned resistance. That will be a strong sign of easing medium term risk aversion. In Europe, FTSE is up 0.02%. DAX is up 0.47%. CAC is up 0.23%. German 10-year yield is up 0.022 at -0.34. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei rose 0.30%. Hong Kong HSI rose 0.84%. China Shanghai SSE rose 0.85%. Japan 10-year JGB yield rose 0.0136 to -0.132. |
