The global financial markets continue to trade in full risk-on mode today. In particular, US futures point to sharply higher open as S&P 500 would likely take on new record high. Canadian Dollar is currently the strongest one for today, as lifted by mildly higher oil price. Australian Dollar follows as the second strongest. Euro is supported by improvement in German economic sentiment. On the other hand, Yen and Dollar are the weakest for now. Technically, Gold is in deep correction today and selling accelerates after clearing 2000 handle. At this point, we'd look for some support from 38.2% retracement of 1670.66 to 2075.18 at 1920.65 to contain downside to bring rebound.
