DOLLAR: The dollar sits mixed at the European crossover, registering modest
gains against AUD, NOK, SEK and losses via GBP after various source reports that
UK PM May will propose a move to rule out a no-deal Brexit.
- The DXY closed below its 100-dma (96.43) yesterday, extending the downtrend
through Asia to 96.31. The 50-dma comes in today at 96.28, expect demand behind
here on approach to the 96 level, ahead of the 200-dma at 95.63. Topside
resistance remains at 96.77/89 from the 61.8%/76.4% retracements of 97.08-96.28.
- Gold holds toward the lower end of its $1326.76-1330.25 range, looking for
direction. The 61.8% retracement of $1302.48-1346.80 is acting as support at
$1319.41, ahead of the 21-dma at $1319.28.
- WTI & Brent eased overnight with modest pressure creeping in on the back of
broader risk-off flows & extended react to President Trump's tweet on high crude
prices. We put out an analysis email yesterday suggesting bullish exhaustion is
setting in and could see a retracement lower. (See - MNI Analysis - A Brent Too
