Dollar turns slightly weaker in early US session as core PCE inflation data stayed well below Fed's target. Nevertheless, as risk aversion remains in the markets, commodity currencies continue to be the weakest ones. Sterling continues to rise on post BoE rebound but there is no clear range breakout yet. Strength in Swiss Franc appears to be lifting Euro slightly higher too. But overall, traders would likely stay cautious before weekly close, awaiting development regarding China's coronavirus in the coming weekend. Technically, USD/CHF's break of 0.9678 minor support suggests that rebound from 0.9613 has completed after rejection by 0.9762 resistance. Intraday bias is back on the downside for retesting 0.9613 low. EUR/CHF also weakens mildly but stays well above 1.0665 temporary low. EUR/GBP is now eyeing 0.8386 temporary low and break will bring retest of 0.8276 support. In Europe, FTSE is down -0.64%. DAX is down -0.40%. CAC is down -0.39%. German 10-year yield is down -0.012 at -0.417. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei rose 0.99%. Hong Kong HSI dropped -0.52%. Singapore Strait Times dropped -0.53%. 10-year JGB yield dropped -0.0088 to -0.063. |
