Dollar remains the strongest one, but struggle to extend gains against commodity currencies. In other markets, major European indexes are soft but downside is limited. US futures also point to flat open. Major treasury yields are extending near term rally. Gold is engaging in weak recovery. Technically, selling focus appears to be turning from Euro to Swiss Franc. A focus in on EUR/CHF. Further decline is expected as long as 0.9698 resistance holds. However, considering bullish convergence condition in 4 hour MACD, break of 0.9698 resistance will indicate short term bottoming and bring stronger rebound. If happens, that could help Euro stabilize slightly elsewhere. In Europe, at the time of writing, FTSE is down -0.75%. DAX is down -0.08%. CAC is down -0.32%.
