Risk aversion dominates the Asian markets today on concerns of coronavirus outbreak in China. Hong Kong HSI leads the way down, additionally pressured by Moody's downgrade. In the currency markets, commodity currencies are broadly lower, with Australian Dollar suffering biggest selloff. Yen and Swiss Franc are the strongest for now. Focus will turn to UK job data, which could trigger another round of selloff in Sterling. Technically, 0.6849 support in AUD/USD is in focus. Break will resume whole fall from 0.7031 and add to the case of near term bearish reversal. USD/JY is also eying 109.79 minor support. Break there will confirm short term topping and bring deeper corrective pull back. Gold's break of 1563.11 resistance suggests that pull back from 1611.37 is over at 1535.91. Further rebound would be seen to retest 1611.37 high. In Asia, currently, Nikkei is down -0.88%. Hong Kong HSI is down -2.29%. China Shanghai SSE is down-1.04%. Singapore Strait Times is down -1.18%. Japan 10-year JGB yield is down -0.0138 at -0.005, turned negative. |
