Yen is under broad based selling pressure today as sentiments somewhat improved with expectations of more stimulus from China to counter the impact of Wuhan coronavirus outbreak. Additionally, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is under increasing political pressure on handling the spread of the coronavirus in the country. Sterling is following as second weakest for today, shrugging off stronger than expected inflation data. On the other hand, Canadian and Dollar are both lifted by respective inflation data. Technically, USD/JPY's break of 110.28 resistance confirms resumption of whole rise form 104.45. Long term channel resistance at 111.21 is next target. EUR/GBP lost much downside momentum ahead of 0.8726 low. Break of 0.8348 will delay down trend resumption and bring near term rebound towards 0.8537 resistance first. USD/CAD is extending near term correction from 1.3329. But downside should be contained well above 1.3104 support to bring rebound. In Europe, currently, FTSE is up 0.83%. DAX is up 0.56%. CAC is up 0.70%. German 10-year yield is down -0.0002 at -0.404. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei rose 0.89%. Hong Kong HSI rose 0.46%. China Shanghai SSE dropped -0.32%. Singapore Strait Times rose 0.53%.
