After some jitters on Iran tensions, Dollar ended up as the strongest one last week. Strong stocks and steady yields provided some support to the greenback. Fed officials also reaffirmed the base stance to stand pat this year. US and China are on track to sign the phase one trade deal this week. Yet, Dollar's rally was somewhat jeopardized by solid but unspectacular non-farm payroll report. It still couldn't prove it's ready for a broad-based, sustainable comeback yet. Technically, USD/JPY couldn't break through 109.72 resistance to resume the rise form 104.45. EUR/USD was held above 1.1066 support, keeping the rebound from 1.0879 alive. USD/CHF and USD/CAD are both held by 0.9770 and 1.3102 resistance respectively, keeping near term outlook bearish. Even AUD/USD recovered ahead of 0.6838 support. Dollar will now look into inflation and retail sales data this week, as well as any positive development regarding US-China trade deal phase too. |
