The powerful rallies in Euro and Gold remain the dominate theme for today as traders seems to be focusing on the worsening US-China relations as well as second wave of coronavirus infections in the US and Asia. Swiss franc tumbles sharply, as mainly pressured by the selloff against Euro while Yen is firm and resilient. The developments suggest that the moves are not driven by broad based risk aversion, which is also reflected in sluggishness in the stock markets. Dollar remains pressured, following Swiss Franc as the second weakest. Technically, EUR/CHF's break of 1.0797 is a positive sign for the common currency. Further rise should be seen to 1.0915 near term resistance next. The focus will turn to Euro/commodity currency crosses. In particular, EUR/AUD is now at around midpoint of 1.6033/6772 range, and it's picking up momentum towards the upper side. EUR?CAD is also accelerating higher towards 1.5991 near term resistance. Break of these levels would further solidify EUR/USD's medium term up trend towards 1.2555 resistance. In Europe, currently, FTSE is down -0.22%. DAX is down -0.05%. CAC is down -0.35%. Germany 10-year yield is down -0.367 at -0.483. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei dropped -0.16%. Hong Kong HSI dropped -0.41%. China Shanghai SSE rose 0.26%. Singapore Strait Times dropped -0.14%.
