Euro has risen to 1.11+ which if sustains can rise to 1.12 before falling from there. EURJPY fell from 158.56 and could be headed towards 157/156 now while USDJPY is falling towards 141 as expected. Aussie is bullish towards 0.69 from where a rejection is possible. Pound continues to slowly inch higher breaking above 1.28 and could test weekly resistance near 1.29 before coming off. USDCNY fell towards 7.10/09. An immediate range of 7.09-7.15 may hold. USDRUB is fluctuating within the 94-89 region as expected. USDINR may appreciate within the 83.00-83.40 region.

The US Treasury yields continue to fall. Bearish view is intact and more fall is on the cards. German yields have declined sharply and are coming down in line with our expectation. View remains bearish. The 10Yr GoI is on a corrective rise. Resistance can cap the upside and keep the downtrend intact. The 5Yr GoI is stuck inside its narrow range.

Silver has risen within its sideways range and needs a decisive break on the upside to strengthen the bullish momentum.
