Markets are generally directionless in Asian session today. Strong rebound in China PMIs somewhat fails to lift sentiments. As the origin of the coronavirus pandemic, China could be the first country to come out of it. Yet, one month of data is insufficient to confirm recovery, as the world is still under severe health and lockdown impacts. Trading in the currency markets is also subdued. Australian and New Zealand are currently the stronger ones, followed by the greenback. Sterling is the weaker one, followed by Yen. But the picture could easily change. Technically, Dollar remains in recovery move but there is no clear follow through buying to confirm bottoming. Here are the levels to watch, 1.0953 support in EUR/USD, 1.2133 support in GBP/USD, 0.5870 support in AUD/USD, 0.9655 resistance in USD/CHF, 109.70 resistance in USD/JPY and 1.4275 resistance in USD/CAD. In addition, 1558 support in gold is needed to be taken out firmly to confirm a comeback of Dollar. In Asia, currently, Nikkei is down -1.03%. Hong Kong HSI is up 1.09%. China Shanghai SSE is up 0.42%. Singapore Strait Times is up 2.03%. Japan 10-year JGB yield is up 0.0311 at 0.026. Overnight, DOW rose 3.19%. S&P 500 rose 3.35%. NASDAQ rose 3.62%. 10-year yield dropped -0.079 to 0.670. |
