Market sentiments take a u-turn today after Fed surprised the markets with another emergency announce. Now, the targets for asset purchases are removed and Fed is going into QE unlimited. US futures turned from limit down to positive while major European indices pared back much of earlier losses. The reaction in the forex markets is very muted, however. Major pairs and crosses are generally staying inside Friday's range. Euro is currently the relatively strongest one, followed by Yen and Swiss Franc. Canadian Dollar is the weaker one, followed by New Zealand Dollar and Dollar. Technically, EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/CHF, USD/JPY, AUD/USD and USD/CAD are all staying in near term consolidations, which will likely extend for a while. Similar picture is seen in Yen crosses too. In Europe, currently, FTSE is down -1.38%. DAX is down -0.56%. CAC is down -0.57%. German 10-year yield is down -0.0522 at -0.373. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei rose 2.02%. Hong Kong HSI dropped -4.86%. China Shanghai SSE dropped -3.11%. Singapore Strait Times dropped -7.35%. Japan 10-year JGB yield dropped -0.0218 to 0.069. |
