Yen and Swiss are trading generally softer today as risk markets pick up some momentum again. On the other hand, Australian Dollar is leading other commodity currencies higher. Dollar is mixed for the moment, awaiting Fed Chair Jerome Powell's testimony. Rally in stock markets could extend if Powell affirms that interest rate will stay low for low. Also, it should be noted that strength in corrective recovery in commodity currencies is so far weak, in particular against the greenback. We might see Dollar extends recent rally should Powell sounds upbeat on the economy Technically, intraday bias in EUR/USD remains on the downside for 1.0879 low. Decisive break there will bring medium term down trend resumption. Further decline is also expected in AUD/USD as long as 0.6774 resistance holds. Sustained trading below 0.6670 low will confirm medium term down trend resumption too. Meanwhile, further rise is expected in USD/CAD as long as 1.3262 minor support holds. Sustained break of 1.3327 resistance will pave the way to 1.3664 high. In Europe, currently, FTSE is up 0.82%. DAX is up 0.85%. CAC is up 0.41%. German 10-year yield is up 0.0181 at -0.391. Earlier in Asia, Japan was on holiday. Hong Kong HSI rose 0.39%. China Shanghai SSE rose 0.39%. Singapore Strait Times rose 0.39%. |
