Middle East tensions continued to drive risk aversion in the markets as another week started. Stocks in Asia are generally in red, except in being mixed in China. Gold and oil price surge sharply on safe haven flows. Movements in the currency markets are relatively limited though. Canadian Dollar is the stronger one on oil prices, followed by Swiss Franc and Yen. New Zealand and Australian Dollars are the weakest, followed by Dollar. Technically, recovery in USD/CAD is so far rather and held well below 1.3102 resistance. We'd expect further decline through 1.2951 temporary low to 1.2779 projection target. AUD/USD is pressing 0.6938 support and sustained break will confirm near term reversal for 0.6754 support next. EUR/AUD's break of 1.6071 resistance should confirm short term bottoming. Further rise is expected for 1.6314 resistance next. In Asia, Nikkei closed down -1.91%. Hong Kong HSI is down -0.66%. China Shanghai SSE is up 0.34%. Singapore Strait Times is down -0.49%. Japan 10-year JGB yield is down -0.017 at -0.033. |
