The non-manufacturing ISM report that covers service sector may have pushed USD downward and helped US 10-year bond yield to make gains, but I am not so sure that how ISM data index of 53 against expectation of 53.9 could have bigger impact on the market, as anything above 50 is considered good. ISM service data is not a large contributor to the US economy, as manufacturing is of more relevance, though it has links related to employment. I think it is all about market perception.
Earlier data released from Europe was good enough to support Euro, as indication are that the European economy is gradually picking up. So far France is disappointing, but Spain is constantly doing well providing good support to the Euro-zone sentiment, However, today's release of German Retail sales and Unemployment data may add some excitement before Thursday's ECB policy announcement.
GOLD @ $ 1241.48 = In Asia I am expecting gold to hold $ 1237 levels for a test of $ 1245-48 zones. Where top should be picked again as $ 1253 should not surrender for re-test of $ 1235-37 zones. Therefore I see double trading opportunity, if purchased on dip.
GMT 3:17 - EURO @ 1,3629 = I am expecting 1.3695-05 to hold for a test of 1,3650-60 levels and may fail to surpass for another dip. break of 1.3560 is required for deeper fall. However, a move beyond 1.3710 is required for more gains.
GMT 3:17 - EURO @ 1,3629 = I am expecting 1.3695-05 to hold for a test of 1,3650-60 levels and may fail to surpass for another dip. break of 1.3560 is required for deeper fall. However, a move beyond 1.3710 is required for more gains.
GMT 3:23 - GBP @ 1.6398 = Pound may hold around 1.6420-25 for a small dip, but is likely to get support around 1.6350-60, break risks for 1.6320. However, on the up break of 1st resistance level will encourage for 1.6550.
GMT 3: 28 - JPY @ 104.35 = JPY is likely to hover between 103.70 and 104.90 levels, break of top or bottom or bottom will open gap by another 50 pip move, but unlikely to make any unusual move.
GMT 3: 33 - AUD @ 0.8943 = Though odds are against Aussie, but I would remain cautious, as only break of 0.8905 would increase risk for test of 0.8880. However, I will not be surprised to see extension of up move towards 0.9025 on break of 0.8980-90 levels.
