Market sentiments are generally calm in Asia, which follow US equities higher. Investors were assured by Fed officials that interest rate is going to stay low at current level for a while. Commodity currencies are recovering today, with Aussie leading the way, even though upside remains rather limited. Yen and Swiss Franc are trading softer, followed by the greenback. Sterling is mixed, awaiting some important economic data today. Technically, EUR/USD's decline is in acceleration, on track to retest 1.0879 low. EUR/CHF breached 1.0665 low but is repelled by 1.0629 key support again. USD/CHF is losing some intraday upside momentum, but there is no sign of topping. The interplay between these three pairs is something to watch today. AUD/USD and USD/CAD are worth a note too. AUD/USD is trying to draw support from 0.6670 low after breaching it. USD/CAD also struggle to sustain above 1.3327 resistance. Dollar could retreat against these two currencies. In Asia, currently, Japan is on holiday. Hong Kong HSI is up 1.25%. China Shanghai SSE is up 0.33%. Singapore Strait Times is up 0.74%. Overnight, DOW rose 0.60%. S&P 500 rose 0.73%. NASDAQ rose 1.13%. 10-year year yield dropped -0.031 to 1.547. |
