• US yields have moved lower on Tuesday, which alongside some downward pressure on equity benchmarks, have enabled the underlying trend of a weakening dollar to prevail through the session. Having respected its 20-day exponential moving average well, the USD index is now back below 99.50, highlighting that the recent move above 100 in early May appears to be technically corrective.
• This dynamic sees the Japanese Yen as the best performer, with USDJPY comfortably back below the 143.00 mark, having entirely eroded the post-BOJ upswing from last week. Even the late rhetoric from President Trump suggesting there will be a “very big” positive announcement in the coming days was quickly brushed aside. The trend direction in USDJPY remains bearish and gains since Apr 22 are considered corrective. This refocuses short-term attention on initial support at 141.97, the Apr 29 low.
• Divergence between the low yielders is also notable today, as CHFJPY weakens around 0.85%. 176.00 has provided an important pivot point this year for that cross, and this week’s selloff bolsters the short-term significance of that resistance level. Moves have been underpinned by a more concerned tone regarding Swiss Franc strength from SNB President Schlegel, potentially highlighting that the risk reward for further Franc gains may be diminishing at this juncture.
• Elsewhere, gains for G10 currencies have largely mirrored the adjustment for the DXY, with the likes of EUR, GBP, AUD, NZD and CAD all rising around half a percent.
• Notably, USDCAD printed fresh cycle lows as President Trump made comments on the USMCA being still very effective and potentially not needing to be renegotiated. A dominant downtrend is in place for USDCAD, signalling scope for a move towards 1.3643, the Oct 9 ’24 low.
