- RES 2: 0.7063 High Jan 18
- RES 1: 0.7063 High Jan 18 and the bull trigger
- PRICE: 0.7027 @ 16:37 GMT Jan 23
- SUP 1: 0.6876 20-day EMA
- SUP 2: 0.6782 50-day EMA
- SUP 3: 0.6688 Low Jan 3 and key support
- SUP 4: 0.6650 Low Dec 22
AUDUSD remains below last Wednesday’s high of 0.7063. Short-term weakness is considered corrective - for now - and the 3-month uptrend remains intact. Support to watch lies at 0.6876, the 20-day EMA. A break of this average would signal scope for a deeper pullback and potentially open 0.6782, the 50-day EMA. Clearance of resistance at 0.7063 would confirm a resumption of recent bullish activity.

US TSYS: Cash Treasuries Close Early With Further Sizeable Cheapening
Dec-23 19:10
- Cash Tsys hold onto further cheapening today at the early close, with yields 5-8.5bps higher on the day but just remaining off pre-U.Mich session highs across 2-10Y tenors.
- Those session highs were also month to date highs from 5Y tenors onwards, with the 2Y at highs since the Nov CPI miss on Dec 13 and the subsequent fall in terminal Fed pricing from close to 5% to ~4.9% currently.
- 2YY +5.0bps at 4.321%, 5YY +5.4bps at 3.857%, 10YY +6.9bps at 3.747% and 30YY +8.5bps at 3.823%.
- The first wave of US data were broadly as expected with core PCE inflation moderating and a small beat for income growth, before more mixed 1000ET data with new home sales surprisingly bouncing but importantly U.Mich inflation expectations being revised lower.
- Treasury futures are still set for a full session, with TYH3 currently trading 15 ticks lower at 113-02+ having earlier touched 112-31. In the process it cleared support at 113-09+ (Dec 21 low) to open the key short-term 112-11+ (Nov 21 low).
CANADA: GoC Yields Extend Session Highs
Dec-23 17:20
- Hard to see latest drivers but GoC yields across 2-10Y tenors, now up 12bps in the front-end to belly and 10bps for 10Y.
- Can-US yield differentials continue to narrow: 2Y at -39bps, 10Y -56bps, both close to highs since the BoC’s surprise Oct downshift.
- Move coincides with USDCAD stepping to new session lows to lows since Dec 15 at 1.3563. Support seen 1.3519 (Dec 14 low).
US TSYS: Re-Cheapening Ahead Of Early Cash Close
Dec-23 17:05
- Treasuries are seeing a re-cheapening of late, with yields back to 5-7bps higher on the day but remaining off pre U.Mich session highs.
- Those session (yield) highs were also month to date highs from 5Y tenors onwards, with the 2Y at highs since the Nov CPI miss on Dec 13 and the subsequent fall in terminal Fed pricing from close to 5% to ~4.9% currently.
- Only modest steepening on the day with 2s10s +1bp at -57.5bp, within the week’s range of -52 to -70bps.
- SIFMA recommends cash close at 1400ET.
