Australian Dollar tumbles broadly today after poor employment data, which suggests RBA is still on track for more easing. Additionally, the Aussie and Kiwi are weighed down by risk aversion in Asian markets. Hong Kong stocks lead others lower again on poor Chinese economic data, and continued unrest in the city. Investors are getting increasingly frustrated by the inability of the Chinese government to solve the deadlock. Yen is currently the strongest one, followed by Dollar and then Swiss Franc. Technically, AUD/USD's break of 0.6809 support suggests completion of rebound from 0.6670 at 0.6929. Further fall should be seen back to retest 0.6670 low. EUR/AUD's breach of 1.6181 minor support also suggests bottoming at 1.5976. Further rise is now likely for 1.6432 resistance. USD/JPY is pressing 108.64 support. Firm break there will be an early sign of completion of rebound from 104.45. Deeper fall would then be seen to 107.88 support for confirmation. Such development could prompt deeper selloff in other Yen crosses. In Asia, currently, Nikkei is down -0.62%. Hong Kong HSI is down -0.77%. China Shanghai SSE is up 0.42%. Singapore Strait Times is down -0.21%. Japan 10-year JGB yield is down -0.0257 at -0.073. Overnight, DOW rose 0.33%. S&P 500 rose 0.07%. NASDAQ dropped -0.05%. 10-year yield dropped -0.039 to 1.870, lost 1.9 handle. |
