Australian Dollar is leading commodity currencies broadly lower in Asian session today, as markets seem to be rushing to reverse April's moves. Euro has somewhat taken the lead overnight, pulling Swiss Franc higher too, after initial reactions to non-eventful ECB. Yen is also trading generally lower in relatively quiet markets. With many countries on holidays today, volatility might jump in thin market conditions before weekend. Technically, EUR/USD's break strong rally overnight suggests that consolidation pattern from 1.0635 has finally started the third leg. Further rise should be seen through 1.0990 resistance towards 1.1147. Similarly, USD/CHF should be heading back to 0.9592 support and then 0.9502 as correction from 0.9901 extends. Both EUR/AUD and AUD/JPY show that Aussie is being rejected by key resistance levels. 0.6444 support in AUD/USD remains a level to watch. Break will solidify the case of short term topping in Aussie in general. In Asia, Nikkei is currently down -2.29%. Japan 10-year JGB yield is up 0.0090 at -0.028. Hong Kong, China Singapore are on holiday. Overnight, DOW dropped -1.17%. S&P 500 dropped -0.92%. NASDAQ dropped -0.28%. 10-year yield dropped -0.005 to 0.622. |
