Aussie Falters after RBA Minutes; Canada CPI Awaited |
Australian Dollar is declining broadly as RBA minutes hinted at the possibility of a pause during their next meeting. Meanwhile, Yen has managed to hold on to the some gains it made earlier this week and appears poised for further rallying, particularly against commodity-based currencies. Both Euro and Sterling have maintained their strength after being bought against Swiss Franc. However, their momentum seems to have slowed down a bit. Dollar is on the path to recovery from previous losses but all would depend on tomorrow's FOMC rate decision. Canadian Dollar remains in a mixed state as market participants eagerly await the release of the Canada CPI data. Elsewhere in the markets, the banking crisis seems to have reached a point of stabilization at last, with hope that this trend will continue. Asian stock markets are making a comeback, taking cues from the rebound in US markets. Benchmark treasury yields in both the US and Europe have also bounced back, signaling a halt in the flow of funds towards safe-haven assets. Gold, after spiking higher yesterday, is currently in a consolidation phase. However, it remains poised to potentially break through the 2000 mark again in the near future. In Asia, at the time of writing, Hong Kong HSI is up 0.33%. China Shanghai SSE is up 0.15%. Singapore Strait Times is up 1.31%. Japan is on holiday. Overnight, DOW rose 1.20%. S&P 500 rose 0.89%. NASDAQ rose 0.39%. 10-year yield rose 0.086 to 3.481. |
EUR/USD Daily Outlook Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.0660; (P) 1.0696; (R1) 1.0759; More... EUR/USD is holding inside range of 1.0515/0759 and intraday bias remains neutral. Focus stays on 1.0759 resistance. Firm break there will argue that corrective fall from 1.1032 has completed at 1.0515, ahead of 38.2% retracement of 0.9534 to 1.1032 at 1.0258. Intraday bias will be turned back to the upside for retesting 1.1032 high. Nevertheless, sustained break of 1.0258 will turn near term outlook bearish for 61.8% retracement at 1.0106. | |
