Forex Flash: Commodity-based face headwinds – UBS

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - UBS Strategists, Gareth Berry and Geoffrey Yu take a technical perspective at today's commodity-based currencies and outline the technical positions.

In terms of the AUD/USD, “With the trending indicators bearish, resistance at 1.0359 should hold any upside. Support is at 1.0221 ahead of 1.0115 and only a closing break above 1.0359 would suggest a more prolonged recovery to 1.0444.” In addition, the latest setback for the USD/CAD stalled just above support at 1.0164. A break below this
would expose 1.0084. Resistance is at 1.0261 ahead of 1.0294.

Forex Flash: Gilts eying 20-day MA – RBS

According to Dmytro Bondar, a Technical Strategist at RBS, “Gilts met the initial target of 119.93 but fell short of 120.52 and formed a major reversal candlestick pattern (higher high, lower low, lower close) known as an outside session. It changes the view and suggests that should the 20-day MA and 119.27 level be broken, there would be strong chances of turning bearish with targets of 119.00 and 118.61. A sustained price above 120.00 makes it constructive again.”
