Dollar and Yen retreat mildly today risk aversion recedes slightly. But as Asian markets struggle to find momentum for a rebound, risk aversion could come back any time before weekly close. As for the week, the greenback remains the strongest one, followed by Yen. Australian Dollar is the worst performing, followed by New Zealand Dollar. Technically, Dollar is clearly losing some intraday upside momentum. Even gold looks set for some consolidations. But the question is whether Yen could pull back in tandem. Or, the torch would be passed to the Yen to rise more against other major currencies. 104.85 minor support in USD/JPY will be a level to watch. Break there could also be accompanied by break resumption of declines in other Yen crosses like EUR/JPY and GBP/JPY. In Asia, currently, Nikkei is up 0.57%. Hong Kong HSI is down -0.20%. China Shanghai SSE is down -0.26%. Singapore Strait Times is up 0.71%. Japan 10-year JGB yield is up 0.0001 at 0.010. Overnight, DOW rose 0.20%. S&P 500 rose 0.30%. NASDAQ rose 0.30%. 10-year yield dropped -0.010 to 0.666. |
