上周五释放的美国4月工业生产数据环比下降0.3%,差于持平0.0%预期。密歇根大学5月信心指数初步值从上个月的95.9下降至88.6,而5月帝国制造业指数为3.09,差于预期的5。近期疲软的经济数据削弱了美国情绪并降低了第二季度反弹的可能性,市场预期美联储或推迟首次加息时间,从而帮助标普500指数连续第二日刷新历史高位2,122.73。道琼斯指数上涨0.11%,纳斯达克指数下跌0.05%。疲软数据致使美元承压,美元指数上周五下跌0.65%,至93.38。欧元兑美元反弹,于纽约市场创下三个月高位1.1467。在东京市场,单一货币于1.1440附近盘整收益。
亚洲股市今早普遍下跌,日经225指数除外,上涨0.80%。中国住房价格进一步下滑,中国股市下跌。香港恒生指数下跌1.11%,上海综合指数回落0.3??7%。日本3月机械订单环比上涨2.9%(预期上涨1.5%,前值向下修正后为1.4%),为2015年以来首次到达该涨幅。美元兑日元今早小幅走高至199.66。美元将于118.50(前低价)找到支撑位并于120.18(3月贬值时50%的斐波拉契水平)找到阻力位。澳大利亚股市下跌1.33%,至5,659.20。澳元兑美元坐落于由4月28日和5月6日最高价所隐含的支撑位0.8028。澳元仍处于自4月14日开始的上行通道中,与当时相比,几乎已经上涨了5个数。
欧洲股票在市场开盘暂停抛售,欧洲期货全面上涨。Eurostoxx 50指数期货上涨0.34%,Footsie指数持平,DAX指数小幅上扬0.40%,瑞士期货指数走高0.26%。经历为期7天的反弹之后,英镑兑美元稍作放松,于1.57-1.58间盘整。英镑已证实38.2%的斐波拉契水平(2014年7月-2015年4月下滑时)兼200日移动均线已遭突破。如想清除下一个阻力位1.5879(50%的斐波拉契水平),该货币对需获得一些新的提振。欧元兑英镑小幅走高,将0.7248的阻力位转化为支撑位(3-4月反弹时50%的斐波拉契水平)。在上行路上,欧元应该会在0.73上方发现一些买盘兴趣。
美元兑瑞郎遇到强劲支撑位0.9073(之所以说其强劲,是因为美元两次试图跌破该支撑位均以失败而告终)。欧元兑瑞郎目前测试1.05,缺乏证实突破该水平的实力。单一货币将于1.04找到支撑位;我们预期该货币对会继续在1个数的范围内盘整。
今天的经济日历非常清闲。然而,本周的余下时间会非常繁忙,将会陆续释放:美国的FOMC会议纪要、CPI以及房屋开工数据;欧元区的PMI预览值、HCPI终值和德国IFO;英国CPI、零售销售和英国央行MPC会议纪要;澳洲联储会议纪要;日本GDP和央行决定。

USD/CHF found a strong support at 0.9073 as the dollar failed twice at breaking the support.EUR/CHF is currently testing 1.05 and lacks the strength to validate a break.The single currency will find support at 1.04;we expect the pair to remain within the 1 figure range.
The economic calendar is very light today.However,the remainder of the week will be very busy with the release of the FOMC minutes,CPI and Housing starts from the US;Flash PMIs,final HCPI and German IFO from Eurozone;CPI,retail sales and BoE MPC minutes from UK;RBA minutes;GDP and BoJ from Japan.
