The Dollar Index and EURUSD can head towards 98-96 and 1.15-1.16 respectively. EURINR has interim resistance at 97.50, break past which will be needed to rise further. Else, the cross can fall back towards 96.50-96.00. EURJPY can broadly remain within the 165-160 region. USDJPY can extend the fall to 142-140 in the coming sessions. AUDUSD is back within the 0.650-0.635 range and the Pound is trading just near the resistance at 1.36. The USDCNY can test the support near 7.15-7.125 before halting. The USDINR yesterday slipped to the low of 84.7750. Now, we need to see whether it rises past 85.25 or extends the fall towards 84.50. US Durable Goods, US Case Schiller and US Consumer Confidence data releases are scheduled today.

Dollar Index (98.814) continues to trade below 99 and can fall towards 98-96 before halting. Immediate resistance is coming at 100.0-100.5.

EURUSD (1.1402) above 1.13 looks bullish towards 1.15-1.16 in the near term.

EURINR (96.9860) has been oscillating within the 96.50-97.50 region since the last few sessions. A break past the resistance near 97.50 if seen, can take it towards 98-99. Else, a fall back towards 96.50-96.00 can happen initially before rising back.

EURJPY (162.40) faces an interim resistance at 163, below which a fall to 160 can happen. Overall, its broad range of 165-161/60 can hold for some time before a decisive break is seen on either side.

Dollar-Yen (142.24) is coming off as anticipated and can soon test 142-140 before possibly halting.

USDCNY (7.1860) yesterday observed the low of 7.1680 before recovering a bit from there. Immediate support is coming between 7.15-7.125 region which can be tested soon in the near term before attempting to rise back higher.

Aussie (0.6482) failed to sustain above 0.65 and started coming off from 0.6537 itself. Currently, it is back within 0.650–0.635 range and while below 0.655 the range can persist in the near term.

Pound (1.3574) is near our mentioned target of 1.36. A break above can target 1.40/41, while a reversal from here may drag it back to 1.34 or lower. Watch price action closely.

USDINR (85.04) as anticipated tested the low of 84.7750 before closing higher. A break above 85.25 is now needed to trigger further upside towards 85.35-85.50. Failure to do so can keep it vulnerable for a decline towards 84.50 on the downside.

INTEREST RATES

The US Treasury Yields have dipped. They look vulnerable for a fall from here rather than rising back. The price action after this fall will need a close watch. The German yields sustain higher. They keep the bullish view intact. More rise is possible in the coming days. The 10Yr GoI continues to oscillate in a narrow range. The trend is down, and the yield has room to fall more.

The US 10Yr (4.49%) and 30Yr (5.01%) Treasury yields remain lower. They look vulnerable for a fall to 4.4% (10Yr) and 4.9% (30Yr) from here rather than rising back to 4.6% (10Yr) and 5.1% (30Yr).

The German 10Yr (2.56%) and 30Yr (3.06%) yields remain higher and stable. The bullish view is intact to see a rise to 2.8% (10Yr) and 3.2% (30Yr).
