Commodity Currencies Weaken as Risk Rally Lost Momentum, Sterling Shrugs Brexit Deadlock

Australian Dollar weakens generally today and takes commodity currencies lower too. Risk-on markets have taken a halt this week, with some notably pullbacks in the US markets overnight. But Asian markets are just mixed. European majors are generally firmer for today, as led by Sterling. Brexit negotiations deadlock is so far generally ignored. Dollar is also mildly firmer but not important resistance is taken out so far.

Technically, a focus today is whether the pull back in commodity currencies will gather more momentum. In particular, 78.93 minor support in CAD/JPY and 74.32 minor support in AUD/JPY will be watched for sign of more near term decline. Meanwhile, 1.3624 minor resistance in USD/CAD and 0.6901 minor support in AUD/USD will also be watched for near term weakness in Canadian and Australian too.

In Europe, Nikkei closed down -0.78%. Hong Kong HSI is up 0.51%. China Shanghai SSE is up 1.86%. Singapore Strait Times is up 0.21%. Japan 10-year JGB yield is down -0.0163 at 0.023. Overnight, DOW dropped -1.51%. S&P 500 dropped -1.08%. NASDAQ dropped -0.86%. 10-year yield dropped -0.034 to 0.650.

Intraday bias in AUD/USD remains neutral and outlook is unchanged. We'd still expect corrective pattern from 0.7064 to extend with another falling leg before completion. On the downside, below 0.6901 minor support will turn bias to the downside for 0.6776 support. Break there will target 38.2% retracement of 0.5506 to 0.7064 at 0.6469. Nevertheless, sustained break of 0.7064 will resume whole rise from 0.5506 instead.
