Risk aversion is back in the markets after taking a breather yesterday, as there remains no sign of containment of China's coronavirus. Yen and Swiss Franc are the strongest ones today, with Yen pressing this week's high against other major currencies. Dollar is mixed shrugging off the non-eventful FOMC rate hold. Commodity currencies are broadly under pressure naturally. Sterling is not too far away as markets await BoE rate decision. Technically, AUD/USD's decline resumes after brief consolidation. Current fall from 0.7031 is on track to retest 0.6670 low. USD/CAD also resume rise from 1.2951 after brief consolidation, and it's on track to 1.3327 resistance next. Both USD/JPY and EUR/JPY might quickly break through 108.73 and 119.80 temporary low too. In Asia, Nikkei dropped -1.72%. Hong Kong HSI is down -2.37%. Singapore Strait Times is down -0.62%. China remains on holiday. Japan 10-year JGB yield is down -0.0229 at -0.059. Overnight, DOW rose 0.04%. S&P 500 dropped -0.09%. NASDAQ rose 0.06%. 10-year yield dropped -0.047 to 1.594, losing 1.6 handle. |
