Global financial markets are in mild risk averse mode today but movements are limited. Dollar is lifted by renewed buying in early US session, and it's extending recent rally against Euro and Canadian Dollar. Strength against other major currencies is not apparent yet. In particular, Sterling is currently the strongest one, displaying some resilience. On the other hand, Loonie turns softer as WTI oil price is back pressing 50 handle. Technically, 1.3327 resistance in USD/CAD is a focus today. Decisive break there should confirm completion of the triangle consolidation from 1.3664 and bring retest of this high. EUR/USD's decline is picking up downside momentum again and is on track to retest 1.0879 low. GBP/USD could have formed a temporary low at 1.2872. But recovery should be limited well below 1.3209 resistance to bring another fall. In Europe, currently, FTSE is down -0.26%. DAX is down -0.33%. CAC is down -0.40%. Germany 10-year yield is down -0.020 at -0.402. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei dropped -0.60%. Hong Kong HSI dropped -0.59%. China Shanghai SSE rose 0.51%. Singapore Strait Times dropped -0.58%. Japan 10-year JGB yield dropped -0.0208 to -0.056. |
