Global financial markets are generally quiet today. Stocks quickly pared back some of initial losses even though major indices are staying in red. US futures suggest that there is no clear direction for now. Dollar recovers generally and appears to be gathering momentum entering into US session. Yen, Swiss Franc and Sterling are not too far away. Meanwhile, Canadian Dollar is the weakest one for today so far, thanks to selloff in oil prices. Euro and other commodity currencies follow closely. Technically, it's still a bit early to judge if Dollar is finally reversing recent pull back. Focus will now be on 1.0953 minor support in EUR/USD, 1.2144 minor support in GBP/USD, 0.9655 minor resistance in USD/CHF and 1.4275 minor resistance in USD/CAD. Break of these levels will likely send the greenback back to recent highs. 1558 support in Gold will be watched too. Ideally, bullish reversal in Dollar should also come with corresponding, decline in gold. In Europe, currently, FTSE is down -1.20%. DAX is down -0.45%. CAC is down -1.39%. German 10-year yield is down -0.0509 at -0.528. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei dropped -1.57%. Hong Kong HSI dropped -1.32%. China Shanghai SSE dropped -0.90%. Singapore Strait Times dropped -4.45%. Japan 10-year JGB yield dropped -0.0153 to -0.005. |
