Sterling rises sharply overnight and stays firm in Asian session today. The Pound was lifted by improved chance for Conservative win in the upcoming election. Yet, there is no sign of a clear majority for pushing through the Brexit deal. Thus, upside of the Pound is so far limited. Currently, Australian Dollar is the strongest one for today as Asian markets recover. Euro is the third strongest. New Zealand Dollar is the weakest one as markets are firming up expectation for an RBNZ rate cut tomorrow. Yen is the second weakest. Technically, EUR/GBP's breach of 0.8575 suggests decline resumption. Current fall from 0.9324 should target 0.8472 key support zone. However, GBP/USD is staying in consolidation below 1.3012. GBP/JPY is also bounded in range below 141.50. These two pairs could extend recent sideway trading first. EUR/CHF's break of 1.0974 support suggests that recent consolidation from 1.0811 has completed. Deeper fall could be seen back to retest this low. In Asia, Nikkei closed up 0.81%. Hong Kong HSI is up 0.41%. China Shanghai SSE is down -0.04%. Singapore Strait Times is up 0.56%. Japan 10-year JGB yield is up 0.0436 to -0.021. Overnight, DOW rose 0.04%. S&P 500 dropped -0.20%. NASDAQ dropped -0.13%. 10-year yield rose 0.010 to 1.943. |
