The financial markets generally stabilized today even though global coronavirus outbreak shows no signs of slowing down. Total global cases reach 92725, with 5186 in South Korea, 2336 in Iran, 2036 in Italy, 283 in Japan, 191 in France, 188 in Germany, 152 in Spain, 110 in Singapore and 103 in USA. G7 pledged to have fiscal and monetary responses but stop short of giving any details yet. In the currency markets, Yen is generally firmer today, followed by Australian Dollar. Euro is the weakest for today, paring some recent gains, followed by Canadian. It remains to be seen if Euro's recent strong rally is done. Technically, EUR/USD is losing some upside momentum ahead of 1.1239 resistance. For now, further rise is in favor as long as 1.1038 minor support holds. Decisive break of 1.1239 will confirm medium term bottoming at 1.0777 low. Nevertheless, break of 1.1038 will retain near term bearishness and turn bias to the downside. On the other hand, EUR/CHF's recovery from 1.0584 also lost momentum ahead of 1.0737 resistance. Near term outlook stays bearish and break of 1.0584 will resume larger down trend. In Europe, currently, FTSE is up 1.69%. DAX is up 2.10%. CAC is up 1.60%. German 10-year yield is up 0.0277 at -0.592. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei dropped -1.22%. Hong Kong HSI dropped -0.03%. China Shanghai SSE rose 0.74%. Singapore Strait Times rose 0.39%. Japan 10-year JGB yield rose 0.0249 to -0.111. |
