Morning briefing: Dow Jones and Nifty have come off a bit
The lower US PCE and Personal income took the Dollar Index to the low of 100.15 before recovering a bit from there. An immediate range of 101.50-100.20 can hold for some time. The Euro, while below 1.12 can fall towards 1.1050-1.10 in the medium term. USDJPY and EURJPY remained volatile due to the Presidential victory of Former Defense Minister Shigeru Ishiba which created uncertainty in the future policy decisions. The ongoing fall, if continues, can get extended to 140 (USDJPY) and 157-156 (EURJPY) in the near term. while the Aussie needs to rise past 0.6950 to become further bullish, Pound may trade within 1.3440-1.33. USDCNY is trading near the crucial support at 7. Need to see whether it holds or not. EURINR could trade within 92-94 region for a few sessions. USDINR is likely to hold the range of 83.40/50-83.70/80.
The US Treasury and the German yields have reversed lower again as expected. The resistances are holding well and are keeping intact the broader downtrend. Both the US Treasury and the German yields have room to fall more from here. The US PCE data released on Friday can keep the Treasury yields under pressure. The PCE for September came in lower at 2.37% (YoY), down from 2.65% in August. This keeps the prospects high for more rate cuts going forward. The US ISM PMI data release tomorrow will need a close watch. A weak PMI number can drag the yield further lower. The Indian 10Yr GoI has bounced back sharply. The support is holding well, and the yield can rise more from here.
