Dollar surges broadly today partly because FOMC announcement and projections overnight removed the risk of extra dovishness. Also, Hong Kong led decline in Asian stocks is providing extra support to the greenback. Yen is following closely as the second strongest for now. On the other hand, New Zealand Dollar is currently the worst one, followed by Euro and then Australian dollar. Canadian dollar is mixed as the strong rise in oil price this week is cushioning the bearish turn. Technically, EUR/JPY completed a head and shoulder top yesterday, which suggests that it's now correcting the rise from 114.42 to 127.07. Similarly, EUR/USD also breaches 1.1754 support today. Sustained trading below there will confirm the head and shoulder top and the start of correction to rise from 1.0635 to 1.2011. Gold's sharp fall today also suggests rejection by near term trend line resistance. Deeper fall would now be in favor to 1906.33 support. Reaction from there would help decide the sustainability of Dollar's rebound. In Asia, currently, Nikkei is down -0.72%. Hong Kong HSI is down -1.68%. China Shanghai SSE is down -0.99%. Singapore Strait Times is down -0.09%. Japan 10-year JGB yield is down -0.006 at 0.014. Overnight, DOW rose 0.13%. S&P 500 dropped -0.46%. NASDAQ dropped -1.25%. 10-year yield rose 0.008 to 0.687. |
