Dollar shrugs off slightly better than expected consumer inflation data and weakens mildly in early US session. But loss is limited as focus turns to FOMC rate decision, statement and new economic projections. At this point, European majors are generally weak as markets also look forward to tomorrow's UK elections. Latest YouGov polls suggested that a hung parliament cannot be ruled out, even though Conservative majority remains the base case. Meanwhile, Australian and New Zealand Dollar strengthen broadly, reversing some of this week's losses. Trades might be jumping the gun in trading tariff delay. But nothing is confirmed until some named official from the US could confirm it. Technically, AUD/USD's strong rebound today should have invalidated the near term bearish case. And rise from 0.6754 should still be in progress. Break of 0.6862 resistance will pave the way back to 0.6929 resistance. EUR/AUD was also rejected below 1.6323 resistance and focus is back on 1.6148 support. GBP/USD, EUR/GBP and GBP/JPY are staying consolidations, while would likely extend further first. In Europe, currently, FTSE is down -0.05%. DAX is up 0.52%. CAC is up 0.06%. German 10-year yield is down -0.019 at -0.311. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei dropped -0.08%. Hong Kong HSI rose 0.79%. China Shanghai SSE rose 0.24%. Singapore Strait Times rose 0.32%. Japan 10-year JGB yield rose 0.0181 to -0.004. |
