The financial markets are relatively quiet today. Global stocks are generally higher but gains are limited. Treasury yields are mixed with US benchmark 10-year yield mildly lower while Germany 10-year yield is mildly higher. Dollar is currently the strongest one for today. But the rally attempt is half-hearted. Focus will turn to US President Donald Trump's speech on trade policy for the next move. Meanwhile, New Zealand Dollar is the weakest one as markets are now expecting an RBNZ cut tomorrow. Sterling pares back some gains after poor job data. Euro is mixed, shrugging off improvement in German economic sentiment. Technically, EUR/USD breaches last week low and is on track to 1.0879 support. USD/CHF recovers ahead of 0.9911 minor support, and further rise is in favor to 1.0027. USD/JPY also recovers well above 108.64 minor support, maintaining near term bullishness. Other Yen crosses are staying in consolidation. In Europe, currently, FTSE is up 0.41%. DAX is up 0.52%. CAC is up 0.24%. German 10-yaer yield is up 0.0065 at -0.236. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei rose 0.81%. Hong Kong HSI rose 0.52%. China Shanghai SSE rose 0.17%. Singapore Strait Times rose 0.84%. Japan 10-year yield rose 0.0292 to -0.036. |
