 Euro rises broadly today partly as overall sentiment stabilized. Technical also play a role as the common currency defended near term support levels against both Sterling and Aussie. Poor Germany economic sentiment data was basically ignored by the markets. Market participants appeared to dismiss the poor economic sentiment data from Germany, with the belief that the decline could be temporary Simultaneously, Swiss Franc and Dollar are making recoveries against other currencies. Canadian Dollar showed little response to lower-than-anticipated CPI readings, which essentially reinforced BoC's decision to maintain the current interest rate levels, at least for the near future. Other commodity currencies, however, are exhibiting weakness. Australian Dollar, for instance, is facing pressure following the RBA minutes, suggesting a potential pause in their next meeting. Technically, EUR/USD's break of 1.0759 resistance is taken as an indication of near term reversal. That is, further rise is now likely to be seen back to retest 1.1032 high. Two focuses will now be on 1.4780 resistance in EUR/CAD and 1.6200 resistance in EUR/AUD. Break of these two levels should solidify Euro's upside momentum. In Europe, at the time of writing, FTSE is up 1.81%. DAX is up 1.87%. CAC is up 1.82%. Germany 10-year yield is up 0.1525 at 0.273. Earlier in Asia, Hong Kong HSI rose 1.36%.
