FOREX: As risk sentiment remained poor amidst a backdrop of US trade fears and

political uncertainty, commodity based currency pairs were the worst performers

in G10 against the USD today.

- Usd/Cad triggered a flurry of stops on the move to 8-month highs of C$1.3067.

After a 4-day rally AUD reversed to $0.7796, NZD eased 0.85 to NZ$0.7267.

- Eur/Usd continued its descent through NY, the broader greenback pressured to

$1.2301 as traders reported of bids at $1.2300.

- Eur/Gbp traded through the 100-dma (Gbp0.8849) to Gbp0.8823. Note the cross

last closed below here on Feb27. The move supported cable to $1.3988 but was

unable to extend through the Asia high. Profit take sales eased, before the

broader USD theme pressured to $1.3925/30. $1.4000 provides stiff resistance, a

break has seen traders suggest $1.4010 as a buy entry level.

- Firmer UST yields alongside improving equities saw Usd/Jpy reclaim Y106.00,

momentum-type accounts extended to Y106.30 but soon faded.
