Markets Stabilized after Massive Risk-Off, Yen Remains Firm

Overall market sentiments stabilized in Asia, after the massive risk-off trades in the US overnight. While Asia indexes are still down, losses are limited. Yen and Swiss franc are paring some gains but remain the overwhelmingly strongest ones. Commodity currencies are the weakest as led by Canadian Dollar. Dollar and Euro are mixed for now, stuck in between. Focuses will remain on whether concerns over delta variants of COVID-19 would spread further.

Technically, one development to note is that Gold has rebounded notably after defending 1791.45 support. Rise from 1750.49 might not be over yet and is still in slight favor to resume through 1833.91 at a later stage. That also indicates some uncertainty over Dollar's strength, which is also reflected in lack of follow through selling in EUR/USD. We'd continue to monitor developments in Gold to double confirm the next move in the greenback.

In Asia, at the time of writing, Nikkei is down -0.32%. Hong Kong HSI is down -0.39%. China Shanghai SSE is down -0.64%. Japan 10-year JGB yield is down -0.0072 at 0.011. Overnight, DOW dropped -2.09%. S&P 500 dropped -1.59%. NASDAQ dropped -1.06%. 10-year yield dropped -0.119 to 1.181.

EUR/JPY Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 128.70; (P) 129.35; (R1) 129.81; More....

EUR/JPY's fall from 134.11 resumed by breaking through 129.60 and hit as low as 128.87 so far. Intraday bias is back on the downside for deeper fall. Sustained trading below 38.2% retracement of 121.63 to 134.11 at 129.34 will argue that it's already corrective the whole up trend from 114.42. Deeper decline would be seen back to 127.07 resistance turned support. On the upside, above 129.60 minor resistance will turn intraday bias neutral first. But risk will stay on the downside as long as 131.07 resistance holds.
