The Yuan strengthened a bit, and the PBoC put today&rsquo;s USD\/CNY mid-point at 6.7157, down 100 pips from yesterday.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWhile the Asian stock markets are mixed, it was risk-on in FX as the US Dollar retraced slightly and the commodity currencies rallied. AUD\/USD rallied from 0.7560 to 0.7610 in Asia and a daily close above 0.76 today would confirm the bottom at 0.7507 and signal that another test of 0.77 is possible in the near-term. NZD\/USD rose from 0.7080 to 0.7130 in Asia, while USD\/CAD fell from 1.3220 to 1.3185, before bouncing back to 1.32.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Euro fell in Asia, as the topside was capped at 1.1060 resistance. While it managed to recover from the decline sub-1.10 yesterday, rallies remain rather weak. Same thing can be said for the Pound, which continues to struggle. It was rejected ahead of 1.2280 resistance yesterday and fell back below the big figure in Asia, reaching a low of 1.2195 so far.\n<\/p>\n<h4>\n\t<strong>Upcoming Events:<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t08:15 BST &#8211; Swiss PPI\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t10:00 BST &#8211; Italian CPI\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t10:00 BST &#8211; Euro Zone Trade Balance\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t13:30 BST &#8211; US Retail Sales\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t13:30 BST &#8211; US PPI\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t15:00 BST &#8211; US Michigan Consumer Sentiment\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t20:30 BST &#8211; CFTC Positioning Data\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Global Markets: Asian stock markets: Nikkei up 0.30 %, Shanghai Composite fell 0.55 %, Hang Seng rose 0.60 %, ASX 200 declined 0.05 % Commodities: Gold at $1256 (-0.10 %), Silver at $17.44 (-0.10 %), WTI Oil at $50.70 (+0.55 %), Brent Oil at $52.10 (+0.10 %) Rates: US 10 year yield at 1.77, UK &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/ic-ch-asia.com\/blog\/friday-14th-october-european-open-briefing\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Friday 14th October: European Open Briefing<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12469,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18560","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ic-ch-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18560","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ic-ch-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ic-ch-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ic-ch-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ic-ch-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18560"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ic-ch-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18560\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18561,"href":"https:\/\/ic-ch-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18560\/revisions\/18561"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ic-ch-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12469"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ic-ch-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18560"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ic-ch-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18560"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ic-ch-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18560"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
