Risk sentiment remains underpinned this morning helping to underpin the Greenback helped by JPY supply supporting core pairs in the dips.Markets have their attention though on US CPI data out at 13.30 GMT
As the dust settles on the UK government re-shuffle the Pound remain unfazed by the political instability, for the moment at least. This morning's UK jobs/wages data were ok with a fuller report due in December with the ONS changing ther reporting methods in the past couple od months. The ongoing Middle East back-story sadly continues meanwhile and casts its own shadow over markets.
Equities enjoyed a mixed session yesterday but finished on a positive note in NY and despite capping remain steady as European trading gets underway while WTI has found support into $77.00 this time but capping around $78.50 as sellers prevail with global demand concerns continuing despite a relatively IEA report/forecast released this morning. Gold has capped into $1950 this time amid the better risk tones after holding $1930 again as the jury remains out.
GBPUSD: Holding 1.2230 then 1.2250 yesterday amid some USD supply and GBPJPY risk demand and now looking at 1.2300-10 res/offers again. Some re-sells duly placed up here and I remain poised for further rally sells when momentum fades.
EURGBP: Support at the old 0.8730 resistance has given way but equally fresh support coming in at the old 0.8700-10 area. More two-way expected amid the core pair fluctuation. GBPJPY: Holding 185.20 amid a rapid retreat with MOF/BOJ talk again but testing 186.50 this morning amid the firmer risk sentiment. Sellers still poised amid possible MOF/BOJ intervention as USDJPY tests their patience again. Underpinned though again for the moment
EURUSD: Support at 1.0670-80 yesterday but ranging tightly still supported by EURJPY demand. I remain a rally seller overall. USDJPY: Rapid drop from 151.90 to 151.20 amid the MOF/BOJ chatter. I remain a rally seller as preferred side overall at these elevated levels. MOF/BOJ cast a shadow still.
