Dollar Index (101.80) has broken below its support at 102.25. While the fall sustains below 102.25, a further dip towards 101.50-101 can be seen.

EURUSD (1.1015) has risen sharply breaking above the resistance at 1.0985-1.10. While this break sustains, a rise towards 1.11 looks possible.

EURJPY (154.99) has declined as the resistance at 157 has held well as expected. A test of 155-154 is possible before a rise back can be seen towards 157-158.

USDCNY (7.2261) has declined but has managed to hold above the support at 7.22-7.2150. A sustained break above 7.25 is needed to see a rally towards 7.30 or higher. Else we have to allow for a dip towards 7.20.

Aussie (0.6682) lacks the strength to move up above 0.67. Only a strong break above it could pave the way towards 0.68. Else it may continue to trade within 0.67-0.66 for a while.

USDRUB (90.2750) has declined but has managed to sustain above 90. While above 90, we expect a range of 90-95 to hold for some time. Only a break lower could see a dip towards 88.

INTEREST RATES

The US Treasury yields have dipped. They have to sustain above their support to avoid a fall and move up going forward. The German yields remain stable. The outlook is bullish to see a strong rise in the coming weeks. The 10Yr and 5Yr GoI have declined sharply. But supports are there to limit the downside and keep the chances alive of seeing more rise going forward.

The US 10Yr (4.00%) and (4.04) have dipped slightly. The yields have to sustain above 4% to keep alive the chances of a rise to 4.2% (10Yr) and 4.2%-4.25% (30Yr). Else they can fall to 3.8% (10Yr) and 3.85% (30Yr). Wait and watch.

The German 10Yr (2.63%) and the 30Yr (2.64%) yields remain stable. We retain our bullish view of the yields surging to 3% (10Yr) while above 2.5% and 3.1% (30Yr) on a break above 2.65%.

The 10Yr GoI (7.1337%) has come down below 7.15%. A test of 7.1% looks likely before a fresh rise to 7.2% happens.

The 5Yr GOI (7.1122%) has come down sharply. 7.1% and 7.07% are good support which can limit the downside and keep alive the chances of the rise to 7.15%-7.20%.
