DOLLAR
DOLLAR: The dollar sits broadly weaker at the NY crossover with the DXY near the
base of its 96.29-58 range. Downside focus turns to the 96.00/10 area which
holds key support from the 100-dma & a series of previous lows. A break here
opens 95.75 which represents the 50% retracement of 95.02-96.48, ahead of the
Jan 15 low & 76.4% fibo at 95.46/36. EURUSD trades back above broken trendline
support-turned-resistance to $1.1350. GBPUSD reclaims $1.31 with topside focus
on the Asia high at $1.3139. A close above the 200-dma & trendline resistance at
1.3059/82 today stabilises the outlook. Commodity tied FX have witnessed modest
gains but are contained to narrow range trade. With no US data scheduled today,
position squaring ahead of the weekend could see light volumes and choppy trade
for the balance of the session.
