17 May 2018 03:10GMT

USD/JPY - 110.18.. Despite initial firmness at Tokyo open due to rising U.S. yields where benchmark 10-year climbed marginally above yesterday's fresh 7-year high of 3.104% to 3.108%), usd's broad-based retreat knocked price from 110.39 to 110.08, suggesting further choppy trading below Tuesday's 3-month peak at 110.45 would continue.

As long as yesterday's low at 110.04 (prev. May's high, now sup) holds, dlr's recent uptrend should resume after present choppy consolidation is over n buying on dips for intra-day n day trades are still favoured.

EUR/USD recedes to daily lows near 1.1850

EUR/USD keeps its bearish momentum well in place, slipping back to the area of 1.1850 to hit daily lows on Monday. The pair’s continuation of the leg lower comes amid decent gains in the US Dollar in a context of scarce volatility and thin trade conditions due to the inactivity in the US markets.

GBP/USD rapidly leaves behind Friday’s decent advance, refocusing on the downside and retreating to the 1.3630 region at the beginning of the week. In the meantime, the British Pound is expected to remain under the microscope ahead of the release of the key UK labour market report on Tuesday.

Gold looks inconclusive around $5,000

Gold partially fades Friday’s strong recovery, orbiting around the key $5,000 region per troy ounce in a context of humble gains in the Greenback on Monday. Additing to the vacillating mood, trade conditions remain thin amid the observance of the Presidents Day holiday in the US.

Bitcoin consolidates as on-chain data show mixed signals
