Risk aversion is the dominant theme today, with deep sell-offs in global stock markets. Treasury yields fell, while gold and oil prices rose. Sentiments were rocked by the sudden escalation of tensions in the Middle East after the US military killed Qasim Soleimani, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards – Quds Force. In the FX markets, the yen and the dollar are the most powerful in the market. The Australian and New Zealand dollars are the weakest, however, the euro and sterling are not extremely far away.

A break of the GBP/USD at 1.3105 demonstrates that the recovery from 1.2905 was finished at 1.3284. The following trial of 1.2905 can be seen. The GBP/JPY remedial decrease should continue from 147.95 to 139.77 level. The AUD/USD pair ruptured the opposition level at 0.6938, yet it might proceed underneath that up till this point. This will be the focal point of the remainder of the session. A solid break will be an early indication of a bearish inversion in the close to term.
