Dollar's rally continues today and stays firm after much better than expected jobless claims data. Yen is following as second strongest on risk-off sentiment, as major European indexes and US futures are in red. On the other hand, New Zealand Dollar remains the worst performing one on post-RBNZ selloff, Aussie and Loonie are following. Technically, we'd keep an eye on Gold's development. Fall from 1877.05 is in progress and sustained break of channel support (now at 1762.19) could bring deeper fall back to 1700 handle (just above 1676.65/1682.60 support zone). Such decline would also come with intensified buying in Dollar, in particular against Euro. In Europe, at the time of writing, FTSE is down -0.21%. DAX is down -1.11%. CAC is down -0.82%. Germany 10-year yield is up 0.0163 at -0.203. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei dropped -1.58%. Hong Kong HSI rose 0.14%. China Shanghai SSE rose 0.10%. Singapore Strait Times dropped -0.01%. Japan 10-year JGB yield rose 0.0012 to 0.086. |
