Dollar Extending Pull Back, Gold Upside Breakout

Markets continue to reverse some of last week's move, as seen in the rebound in European and Asian equities. Dollar, Yen and Swiss Franc all turned weaker while commodity currencies strengthened. PMIs from Eurozone and UK are all solid, despite mild pull back. Yet, both are outshone by commodity currencies. Sterling is currently having a slight upper hand against Euro.

Technically, however, there is no clear sign of reversal for Dollar, Yen and Franc yet. Though, Gold's break of 1795.42 resistance now suggests resumption of rebound from 1682.60. Reaction to 1800 handle will be watched, and sustained trading above would pave the way to retest 1832.47 resistance that. We'd see if EUR/USD would follow and break through 1.1084 resistance too.

In Europe, at the time of writing, FTSE is up 0.36%. DAX is up 0.23%. CAC is up 0.89%. Germany 10-year yield is up 0.021 at -0.473. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei rose 1.78%. Hong Kong HSI rose 1.05%. China Shanghai SSE rose 1.45%. Singapore Strait Times dropped -0.49%. Japan 10-year JGB yield rose 0.0070 to 0.019.

EUR/USD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.1674; (P) 1.1690; (R1) 1.1715; More...

EUR/USD's recovery from 1.1663 continues but stays below 1.1804 resistance. Intraday bias remains neutral first. In case of another fall, we'd continue to look for strong support from 1.1602/1703 key support zone to bring rebound. On the upside, above 1.1804 resistance will turn bias back to the upside for 1.1907 resistance first. However, sustained break of 1.1602/1703 will carry larger bearish implication and pave the way to 1.1289 fibonacci support.
