Dollar is back in control in Asian session, with some help from risk averse sentiment. Euro is staying firm against Sterling and Swiss Franc, and is picking up upside momentum against commodity currencies. In particular, Aussie is sold off on poor manufacturing data from both Australia and China. Yen is also weak along with renewed rally in benchmark treasury yields. Technically, US 10-year yield will be a focus today as could be trying to break away from 3.101 resistance decisively. In that case, a near term rally extension would be set up towards 3.483 high. Such development could push Yen pairs higher. In particular, USD/JPY could follow and break through 139.37 resistance in sustained way to resume larger up trend. In Asia, at the time of writing, FTSE is down -1.05%. DAX is down -0.97%. CAC is down -1.37%. Japan 10-year JGB yield is up 0.0057 at 0.236. Overnight, DOW dropped -0.88%. S&P 500 dropped -0.78%. NASDAQ dropped -0.56%. 10-year yield rose 0.023 to 3.133. |
