Intra-Day News and Views & data to be released today - USD/JPY

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
Update Time: 09 Dec 2019 04:30GMT

USD/JPY - 108.58.. Asian traders who did not follow the N. American market will be forgiven to think Fri's U.S. jobs data must be soft as current price is trading below Fri's Asian range of 108.66-78.

Who would have guessed the greenback jumped from 108.53 to 108.91 after blowout U.S. non-farm payrolls but only to erase intra-day gains n later tumbled to 108.53 after U.S. Economic Advisor Kudlow's mildly downbeat comments on latest U.S.-China trade talks. Intra-day softness after early release of upbeat Japan's Q3 GDP suggests downside bias remains for re-test of last week's low at 108.44 (Wednesday), break would extend decline from last Monday's 6-month peak at 109.72 to 108.25 but reckon Nov's low at 107.90 would hold.
Offers are tipped at 108.70/80 with stops above 109.00 whilst bids are seen at 108.55-8 with stops below 108.40 and more below 108.25.

After Friday's release of monthly blockbuster U.S. jobs data, no economic indicator is due out today.

EUR/USD faces next resistance near 1.1930

EUR/USD continues to build on its recovery in the latter part of Wednesday’s session, with upside momentum accelerating as the pair retargets the key 1.1900 barrier amid a further loss of traction in the US Dollar. Attention now shifts squarely to the US data docket, with labour market figures and the always influential CPI releases due on Thursday and Friday, respectively.

GBP/USD sticks to the bullish tone near 1.3660

GBP/USD maintains its solid performance on Wednesday, hovering around the 1.3660 zone as the Greenback surrenders its post-NFP bounce. Cable, in the meantime, should now shift its attention to key UK data due on Thursday, including preliminary GDP gauges.

Gold holds on to higher ground ahead of the next catalyst

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place on Wednesday, retargeting the $5,100 zone per troy ounce on the back of modest losses in the US Dollar and despite firm US Treasury yields across the curve. Moving forward, the yellow metal’s next test will come from the release of US CPI figures on Friday.
