Market Report

Should We Be Wary of Further Downside Potential in Cross-Yen Pairs, Which Are Struggling to Gain Ground?

Today's Highlights
  1. Canada: BOC Policy Rate and Statement Release
  2. U.S. Weekly Crude Oil Inventories

In the U.S. currency market the previous day, the U.S. dollar rose against the euro. The EUR/USD pair fell back from 1.0732 to 1.0667.This move offset the rebound seen the day before yesterday. On the daily chart, the EUR/USD pair is trading just below the 200-day EMA. If it breaks below the support provided by the 200-day EMA, it could extend its decline toward the next support level around 1.0559; therefore, traders should be cautious of further downside potential during European trading hours.

Among European currencies, the pound saw a back-and-forth movement against the yen. The GBP/JPY pair traded within a range of 172.683 to 173.7776, searching for direction; although it rose to the 20-period moving average (MA) on the hourly chart, it did not hold that level for long and fell back.During today’s Asian session, the pair has been trading below the 20-period moving average on the hourly chart and moving lower, so traders should watch for a continued decline during the U.S. session.

Today’s economic indicators include the Swiss unemployment rate at 14:45, German industrial production and UK Halifax house prices at 15:00, and the Frenchtrade balance and current account balance at 15:45, the U.S. MBA Mortgage Applications Index at 20:00, Canada’s trade balance and first-quarter labor productivity index at 21:30, and the U.S. trade balance at 21:30,at 11:00 PM: Canada’s BOC policy rate and statement; at 11:30 PM: U.S. weekly crude oil inventories; at 4:00 AM: U.S. consumer credit balances; and at 7:45 AM the following day: New Zealand’s Q1 manufacturing sales. Investors should watch for downside potential in cross-yen pairs, which are facing resistance on the upside.
