Dollar and Yen are both under pressure again today, as broad based risk sentiments improved. In particular, the volatile Nikkei managed to close up more than 2%. New Zealand Dollar is leading other commodity currencies higher too. But Canadian Dollar and Sterling are the strongest ones for the week at this point. The Loonie is lifted by WTI oil price, which is back above 66 handle. Sterling is booted by reopening optimism and slightly better than expected job data. Technically, GBP/USD's break of 1.4165 resistance now puts focus on 1.4240 high. Firm break there will resume larger up trend from 1.1409. EUR/USD also looks ready to break through 1.2181 temporary top to retest 1.2348 high too. Similarly, USD/CHF is also ready to break through 0.8984 temporary low towards 0.8756 key support. Affirming dollar bearish developments, Gold broke above medium term falling channel yesterday. Now, we'd see if gold can sustain above the channel resistance to confirm completion of whole correction from 2075.18, at 1676.65. In Asia, Nikkei closed up 2.09%. Hong Kong HSI is up 1.25%. China Shanghai SSE is up 0.06%. Singapore Strait Times is up 1.70%. Japan 10-year JGB yield is down -0.0011 at 0.079. Overnight, DOW dropped -0.16%. S&P 500 dropped -0.25%.
