FOREX: Dollar on track for fourth session of losses as risk improves further
- Risk appetite got a decent jolt, with the positive US close Monday filtering
through well into the European open today. This has translated to lower haven
currencies (JPY is the weakest in G10 so far), helping benefit AUD, GBP, EUR and
others.
- The DXY has taken another leg lower and now sits at multi-month lows and well
below the 12m rolling average. Fundamental news has been few and far between,
although some focus rests on a potential early OPEC+ meeting Thursday, at which
the oil producers could extend the current regime of output cuts.
- EUR/USD goes from strength to strength, with upside accelerating on the move
through clustered resistance at yesterday's high at $1.1154, the late March high
at $1.1163 as well as the 61.8% Fib of the early-mid March decline. This marks
new recovery highs in the pair and turns upside targets higher to eye $1.1237
initially ahead of $1.1292, the final Fib retracement of the March range. Data
release are thin on the ground Tuesday, with markets keeping a close eye on this
Friday Nonfarm Payrolls release.
