Morning briefing: Euro appears to range between 1.0600-1.0700

The Dollar Index, EURUSD, and EURJPY appear to range between 106.50-105.50, 1.06-1.07 and 162-165 respectively, while USDJPY could soon test our mentioned targets of 155-156. Aussie above 0.64 can rise further towards 0.65-0.655 and Pound needs to sustain above 1.23 to test 1.24/25 on the upside. USDCNY is slowly rising towards 7.25. EURINR may remain ranged within the 88.50-90 region. In USDINR, we need to be cautious around current levels as support can be spotted around 83.30 which if held, can take it higher towards 83.50.

The US Treasury and the German yields seem to be lacking strength to move up. They need a strong follow-through rise from here to move higher. Else, the Treasury yields can fall to test their support and the German yields can fall-back into their earlier range. We will have to wait and watch. The 10Yr and 5Yr GoI have come down. But supports are there to limit the downside and keep the overall uptrend intact.

Dow Jones has risen above the resistance at 38100 and can rise further if the break sustains. DAX looks range bound between 17600-18000 but outlook will remain bearish while below 18000. Nifty can rise too taking cues from Dow Jones. It has to rise above 22500 to become bullish towards 23000. Nikkei is trying to bounce but has to surpass the resistance overhead to become bullish, else it would remain vulnerable for the near term. Shanghai can remain ranged within 3100-3000 for a while.

Crude prices look mixed and might trade sideways for a while. Gold, Silver and Copper have fallen sharply and might dip towards their near term supports. Natural Gas to trade sideways within 1.50-2.00 for a while.

EUR/USD struggles near 1.1850, with all eyes on US CPI data

EUR/USD holds losses while keeping its range near 1.1850 in European trading on Friday. A broadly cautious market environment paired with a steady US Dollar undermines the pair ahead of the critical US CPI data. Meanwhile, the Eurozone Q4 GDP second estimate has little to no impact on the Euro. 

GBP/USD recovers above 1.3600, awaits US CPI for fresh impetus

Gold remains below $5,000 as US inflation report looms

Gold retreats from the vicinity of the $5,000 psychological mark, though sticks to its modest intraday gains in the European session. Traders now look forward to the release of the US consumer inflation figures for more cues about the Fed policy path. The outlook will play a key role in influencing the near-term US Dollar price dynamics and provide some meaningful impetus to the non-yielding bullion.
