Euro Drops on ECB Comments, Swiss Franc Weaker

Global treasury yields softened mildly this week, which helped the rebound in US and European stocks yesterday. But the positive sentiment is not much reflected in Asian session today so far. Selloff in Swiss Franc and Yen, and to a lesser extent Euro, appears to be slowing. But these three remain generally weak. Dollar is trying to extend its rebound but struggles to gain momentum against commodity currencies. Australian Dollar is steady after uninspiring RBA statement.

Technically, WTI crude oil appears to be losing much upside momentum just ahead of 65.43 key resistance. Focus is back on 58.57 support and break should confirm the start of a near term correction, at least. That might drag down the Canadian Dollar as well overall risk markets. Correspondingly, in this case, we might see CAD/JPY dropping through 83.18 support to start a near term correction too.

In Asia, currently, Nikkei is down -0.55%. Hong Kong HSI is down -0.66%. China Shanghai SSE is down -0.99%. Singapore Strait Times is up 0.26%. Japan 10-year JGB yield is down -0.0189 at 0.138. Overnight, DOW rose 1.95%. S&P 500 rose 2.38%. NASDAQ rose 3.01%. 10-year yield dropped -0.014 to 1.446.

USD/CHF Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.9093; (P) 0.9126; (R1) 0.9181; More....

USD/CHF rises to as high as 0.9192 so far today. Break of 100% projection of 0.8756 to 0.9044 from 0.8869 at 0.9157 suggests some upside acceleration. Firm break of 0.9181 support turned resistance will target 161.8% projection at 0.9335 next. On the downside, break of 0.9093 resistance turned support is needed to indicate short term topping. Otherwise, further rally will remain in favor in case of retreat.
