European stocks and US futures turn softer today, apparently on pre-weekend profit taking again. FTSE is additionally pressured, possibly as Prime Minister Boris Johnson was tested positive for coronavirus. In the currency markets, Yen regains some ground together with Swiss Franc and Dollar. Commodity currencies are mildly lower. However, for the whole week, Dollar remains the worst performing one while Sterling is the best. Technically, while Dollar is recovering, some resistance levels are needed to be taken out to confirm completion of pull back. Those levels include 1.0888 support in EUR/USD, 1.1933 support in GBP/USD, 0.5870 support in AUD/USD and 0.9718 resistance in USD/CHF. Ideally, if the greenback is to have a comeback, 1588 support in Gold should be taken out too. In Europe, currently, FTSE is down -5.63%. DAX is down -3.90%. CAC is down -4.55%. German 10-year yield is down -0.1052 at -0.471. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei rose 3.88%. Hong Kong HSI rose 0.56%. China Shanghai SSE rose 0.26%. Singapore Strait Times rose 1.66%. Japan 10-year JGB yield closed flat at 0.010. |
