New Zealand Dollar remains the strongest one today as boosted by RBNZ's hold. But risk aversion is picking up momentum and sends Swiss Franc and Yen generally higher. Hong Kong stocks led the global markets lower again as unrest in the city continues. Neither the Hong Kong nor the Chinese government display any political intelligence in providing any resolution. Traders also turned cautious after US President Donald Trump warned yesterday that tariffs on China would be "substantially" higher if both sides fail to reach a deal. On the other hand, Australian and Canadian Dollars are the weakest. Technically, Yen crosses are generally seen as in consolidation for now, including USD/JPY, EUR/JPY and GBP/JPY. But break of 108.64 minor support in USD/JPY will be an early sign of sustainable strength in the Yen and could bring deeper fall to 117.88 structural support. In that case, we might see selloff in other Yen crosses accelerates. AUD/USD is now edging closer to 0.6809 near term support. Break will indicate completion of recent rebound from 0.6677 and pave the way back to this low.
