Good Morning!

The Dollar Index has surged past 105 despite the softer PPI data released yesterday. Dollar Index could trade within 104-105.50 and Euro if sustained above 1.07, then it can trade within 1.07-1.09; else it can get further dragged towards 1.065 before bottoming out. Aussie and Pound can remain ranged within 0.6580-0.6720 and 1.28-1.26 respectively. EURJPY and USDJPY can trade within 168-170 and 156-158 region respectively. Watch out for the BOJ meeting scheduled today to get further directional clarity for the near term. USDCNY looks bullish to 7.26/28 in the medium term while above 7.25. EURINR can trade within 89.50-91.25 region for some time. USDINR is likely to sustain trade within 83.60-83.30 region with upside capped at 83.60 for the near term.

The US Treasury yields continue to fall in line with our expectation. The yields can fall further to test their supports and then rise back eventually in the coming days. The German yields have dipped below their support. Failure to rise back from here can drag them further lower. The 10Yr GoI is coming down within its range. It can now dip further to test the lower end of its range. The 5Yr GoI is at a key support. It has to bounce back from here immediately to avoid more fall.

Dow Jones trade lower and could fall towards 38000 while Dax has decline sharply but could hold above the support region of 18200/18100 and bounce back soon towards 18800/19000. Nifty needs to break above 23500 to turn further bullish else can fall back towards 23200/23000. Nikkei and Shanghai trade lower but could hold above supports of 38000 and 3000 respectively from where a bounce is expected.

Crude prices are sustaining well below their resistances and could be stable to bearish for the near term unless a sharp rise from the current level is seen. Metals and Natural gas remain bearish for the near term. Copper could rise on a decisive break above 4.60 else can also fall along with the precious metals.

EUR/USD flirts with daily highs, retargets 1.1900

EUR/USD regains upside traction, returning to the 1.1880 zone and refocusing its attention to the key 1.1900 barrier. The pair’s slight gains comes against the backdrop of a humble decline in the US Dollar as investors continue to assess the latest US CPI readings and the potential Fed’s rate path.

GBP/USD remains well bid around 1.3650

GBP/USD maintains its upside momentum in place, hovering around daily highs near 1.3650 and setting aside part of the recent three-day drop. Cable’s improved sentiment comes on the back of the Greenback’s irresolute price action, while recent hawkish comments from the BoE’s Pill also collaborate with the uptick.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP in choppy price action, weighed down by falling institutional interest

Bitcoin's upside remains largely constrained amid weak technicals and declining institutional interest. Ethereum trades sideways above $1,900 support with the upside capped below $2,000 amid ETF outflows.

Week ahead – Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight

US GDP and PCE inflation are main highlights, plus the Fed minutes. UK and Japan have busy calendars too with focus on CPI. Flash PMIs for February will also be doing the rounds. RBNZ meets, is unlikely to follow RBA’s hawkish path.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight
