Update Time: 10 May 2021 05:30GMT

USD/JPY - 108.86.. Despite Friday's selloff from 109.28 to as low as 108.35 after U.S. payrolls missed market forecast by the most on record, price recovered on intra-day rebound in U.S. yields n the pair climbed steadily in Asian morning as benchmark 10-year U.S. yields rose above Friday's 1.584% high to 1.6000% in Asian trading.

Expect further sideways swings to continue n as long as 108.90 (last Mon's low, now res) holds, downside bias remains for decline from April's 109.69 high to head to 108.05/10 but reckon 107.90/95 would contain weakness. Order book is fairly thin with offers are tipped at 108.85/90 with stops above109.00.
Bids are tipped at 108.45/35 with stops reported below there.

EUR/USD makes a U-turn, focus on 1.1900

EUR/USD’s recovery picks up further pace, prompting the pair to retarget the key 1.1900 barrier amid further loss of momentum in the US Dollar on Wednesday. Moving forward, investors are expected to remain focused on upcoming labour market figures and the always relevant US CPI prints 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.
