The Dollar Index surged yesterday to 102.09 possibly as safe haven amidst the escalating tensions in the Middle East. The index needs to sustain above 102 to continue moving up, else can fall back towards 101-100.50 again. Euro is headed towards 1.10 which needs to sustain to prevent a further dip to 1.0950/1.09. USDJPY and EURJPY could remain below 150 and 164 respectively. Aussie can be ranged from 0.6850-0.68. Watch price action at 0.68 for a bounce or break below from there.

Watch US NFP and Unemployment data to be released today.
The US Treasury yields have and come close to their resistances. While the broader trend is down, a break above the immediate resistances can trigger an extended rise before the downtrend resumes. The US Unemployment data release today will be important to watch. If the Unemployment rate (4.2%) goes up from here, it can be negative for the yields. The German yields have bounced. But resistances are there to cap the upside and keep the downtrend intact. The yields have room to fall more. The 10Yr GoI is moving up in line with our expectation. The yield can rise further from here.

If it bounces from 18900/800, it can resume upmove towards 19000/20000. Nifty has plunged below 25500 contrary to our expectations. It can test 25000 before pausing there.

Brent can rise further towards 78-80 while WTI can target 76-77 on the upside. Gold, Silver and Copper looks ranged for the near term between 2700-2640, 32.5-30.50 and 4.5-4.8 respectively. Natural Gas looks bearish towards 2.7-2.6 while below resistance at 3. A break above 3, if seen can extend it to 3.2 before the expected decline is seen.
