Dollar starts the month with a much firmer footing, trading broadly higher as the strongest one so far. The rally is particular against Swiss Franc, which is currently the weakest one. Yet the greenback will firstly need to overcome some near term technical levels to convince traders about its underlying strength. Secondly, Dollar will face some tests from key economic data this week, starting from ISM manufacturing index today, and then ISM services and non-farm payroll later in the week. We'll see if it's finally turning the corner. Technically, some levels need to be taken out to confirm the sustainability of Dollar's rebound. The levels include 1.1698 minor support in EUR/USD, 1.3013 minor support in GBP/USD, 0.7063 support in AUD/USD and 1.3459 minor resistance in USD/CAD. Also, gold will need to confirm short term topping in record high of 1988 and break 1939.20 minor support. In Europe, currently, FTSE is up 1.37%. DAX is up 2.30%. CAC is up 1.45%. German 10-year yield is up 0.009 at -0.513. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei rose 2.24%. Hong Kong HSI dropped -0.56%. China Shanghai SSE rose 1.75%. Singapore Strait Times dropped -1.78%. Japan 10-year JGB yield rose 0.0108 to 0.024. |
