The single currency gains respite in relatively subdued Asian morning after yesterday's selloff which started in Australia from 1.1603 to a fresh 14-month trough of 1.1530 near European midday due to active safe-haven usd buying on weakness in Asian and European stocks as well as falling U.S. yields, however, price ratcheted higher in New York to 1.1559 on short covering in tandem with U.S. stocks n then gained marginally to 1.1561 in Asia.

As Wednesday's break of previous 2021 low at 1.1563 (September, now res) confirms Medium Term downtrend from January's peak at 1.2349 has once again resumed, price is en route to psychological 1.1500 handle, then 1.1473 after consolidation but reckon 1.1450 would hold ahead of release of Friday's U.S. jobs report.

Dlr remains on the front foot in early Tokyo trading on Friday following yesterday's rebound from 111.24 (Europe) to 111.65 in New York as improved risk sentiment due to expectation of U.S. Senate would approve a temp. lift to U.S. debt ceiling pushed up U.S. yields (benchmark 10-year hit fresh 3-1/2 month high of 1.580%, circa 1.588%) n U.S. stocks.

As intra-day brief weak of Wednesday's 111.78 high on renewed cross-selling in yen suggests pullback from September's 19-month peak at 112.07 has ended, re-test of this level is envisaged, break there would encourage for gain to 112.22 (Nov 2020 high), then towards 112.66 next week.
