Yen is trading generally higher is Asian session and broke some near term resistance level. Risk sentiments are mixed in major Asian markets. While US stocks ended with gains overnight, the closes in major indices were indeed lower then opens. That's a signal of indecisiveness among the bulls. Commodity currencies turn softer, but New Zealand Dollar is supported by robust job data. Euro turned mixed after yesterday's selloff, but remains the weakest one for the week. Technically, USD/JPY's break of 106.35 temporary low suggests resumption of fall from 111.71. Further decline would be seen to 104.58 near term projection level. EUR/JPY broke 115.44 support to resume medium term down trend. 131.90 support in GBP/JPY will be a focus today and break should confirm completion of rebound from 123.94. That will be another evidence of underlying strength in Yen. In Asia, Hong Kong HSI is up 0.57%. China Shanghai SSE is down -0.42%. Singapore Strait Times is up 1.06%. Japan is still on holiday. Overnight, DOW rose 0.56%. S&P 500 rose 0.90%. NASDAQ rose 1.13%. 10-year yield rose 0.020 to 0.657. |
