Dollar rises broadly today and it's set to end as the strongest one. Strong rally in treasury yield, with 10-year yield now at 1.95, is giving the green back solid support. Stock futures point to mixed open, but could easily extend recent record run if there is more positive news regarding US-China trade deal before close. As for today, commodity currencies are generally pressured. In particular, Canadian dollar is weighed down by weaker than expected job and housing data. Technically, USD/CAD breaks 1.3208 temporary top to resume rise from 1.3042. That's another sign of Dollar strength following EUR/USD, USD/JPY and USD/CHF. Ideal, we should seen AUD/USD heading back to 0.6809 minor support next week to align the outlook with other Dollar pairs. GBP/USD would likely be the only exception, as it should remain consolidative, awaiting UK election next month. In Europe, currently, FTSE is down -0.49%. DAX is down -0.43%. CAC is down -0.29%. German 10-year yield is down -0.001 at -0.235. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei rose 0.26%. Hong Kong HSI dropped -0.70%. China Shanghai SSE dropped -0.49%. Singapore Strait Times dropped -0.65%. Japan 10-year JGB yield rose 0.0258 to -0.060. |
