Swiss Franc surges broadly today and it's currently the strongest one. There is no clear sign of risk aversion in other markets, with major European indices in black, while DOW futures is slightly higher. Yen is also generally soft too. Franc's strength might be an indication of concerns over geopolitical tensions. Or it could be some form of positioning ahead of tomorrow's SNB rate decision. Meanwhile, Euro and Sterling are the weakest ones for today. Sterling is weighed down mildly by CPI inflation data, as well as expectation of BoE QE expansion tomorrow. Technically, 1.0650 temporary low in EUR/CHF is a focus for the rest of the day. Break will resume the decline from 1.0915 towards 1.0503 low. GBP/CHF could also be eyeing 1.1837 temporary low and break will extend the fall from 1.2259 to 1.1716 key near term support. Another one to watch is EUR/JPY, and break of 120.25 temporary low will resume the fall from 124.43 too. |
