Market sentiments are generally weighed down by renewed trade concerns after US President Donald Trump's decision to restore steel and aluminum tariffs on Brazil and Argentina. Additionally, China formally started some form of retaliation against US on its support on Hong Kong's democracy movement. Dollar is trading broadly lower except versus Canadian. Meanwhile, Swiss Franc appears to be strengthening, after Australian and New Zealand Dollar. Technically, USD/CAD's decline today suggests rejection by 1.0027 key near term resistance. Deeper fall could be seen back towards 0.9868 support as range trading extends. USD/JPY and EUR/JPY retreats mildly but there is no sign of bearish reversal yet. 0.6795 minor resistance in AUD/USD will now be a focus in US session. Break will at least bring stronger rebound towards 0.6834 resistance. That could be a prelude to more Dollar pull back elsewhere. In Europe, currently, FTSE is down -0.20%. DAX is down -0.44%.
