|The Dollar Index needs to rise past 100 to head towards 101-101.50. We retain our view that the Euro and EURINR can witness a fall back to 1.12-1.11 and 96.0-95.5 respectively. EURJPY is trading lower within its 164-160 range. USDJPY if fails to rise past 144, can be vulnerable to initially test 140 in the near term. AUDUSD is trading near the crucial resistance around 0.635-0.640. The USDCNY is rising as anticipated and if sustained, can test 7.35 as well. Pound while above 1.30 has scope to head towards 1.35. USDINR is coming off as expected and while below 86, view remains bearish to 85.50-85.30 or even lower to 85.00. The US Retail Sales, US Industrial Production & US Capacity Utilization data releases scheduled today.
The US Treasury yields remain lower. The yields have to sustain above their upcoming support in order to keep alive the chances of rising back. If the support is broken, then more fall can be seen. The German yields have inched up. It is likely to be short-lived. The view remains bearish to see more fall from here. The ECB meeting outcome tomorrow will be important to watch. The 10Yr GoI is testing its crucial support. We expect this support to hold and the yield to see a rise in the coming days.
