Technical Checks For EUR/USD, AUD/USD, NZD/USD & USD/CHF: 11.12.2018
Considering a month long symmetrical triangle formation on EURUSD chart, the pair is less likely to register much momentum till it trades within the present range of 1.1305 and the 1.1435. Though, comparative strength of the US Dollar favor brighter chances of the pair’s decline than the otherwise, which in-turn highlights the importance of 1.1260 and the 1.1215 supports after 1.1305 break. In case prices continue drowning past-1.1215, the 1.1110 & 1.1080 may become Bears’ favorites. Meanwhile, an upside break of 1.1435 can trigger the pair’s rise to 1. ...

Dollar hit as U.S. yields fall; risk aversion boosts yen, Swiss franc
By Saqib Iqbal Ahmed NEW YORK (Reuters) - The dollar weakened against major peers on Thursday as U.S. Treasury yields fell and traders scaled back expectations on the number of rate hikes the Federal Reserve would implement amid weakening economic data and heightened market volatility. The benchmark 10-year yield hit a three-month trough of 2.826 percent. It was last down over 5 basis points at 2.867 percent. The euro was 0.26 percent higher against the dollar at $1.1373.

Technical Update For USD/CHF, EUR/CHF, CHF/JPY & CAD/CHF: 05.12.2018
With nearly 100-pip range between 1.0010-05 and 0.9920-15 aptly limiting the USDCHF moves, the pair is presently expected to revisit the 0.9950 rest-point ahead of testing the 0.9915 range-support for one more time. However, pair’s drop beneath the 0.9915 can quickly fetch it to 0.9885 and the 0.9860 marks ahead of highlighting the 0.9845 as a support. Meanwhile, an upside clearance of 1.0010 could propel the quote to 1.0050 and then to the 1.0080 resistances whereas pair’s successful trading beyond 1.0080 enables it to aim for 1.0100 and the 1.0130 numbers to north.EUR/CHF

Weekly closing beyond 1.0045 wasn’t enough for the USDCHF to register its strength as 1.0105-15 horizontal-region still stands tall to challenge the buyers, which if broken can escalate the pair’s rise to 1.0170 and the 1.0215 prior to highlighting the 1.0250 upside barrier. Given the successful price rally above 1.0250, the 1.0340 and the 61.8% FE level of 1.0550 may gain market attention.

USD/CHF Price Forecast – Grinding Through Important Triple-Top Formation
Recent price action in the U.S. dollar is showing another attempt to make a clear break above parity against the Swiss franc. On several occasions, traders bullish on the USD/CHF have failed in their attempts to move into these areas. Since last November, this is the fourth time the USD/CHF currency pair has tried to overcome these resistance levels. But most of the evidence suggests that this most recent attempt could be stronger in terms of its directional influence on the longer-term timeframes. All of this prior activity has created a triple-top formation on the daily charts, and so a clear break higher from current levels would mark a highly bullish event for those long USD/CHF.

Early-month risk-on moves recently helped the AUD to recover some of its latest losses and AUDUSD is no exception to this as it crossed 0.7145-40 region; however, the pair needs to sustain the breakout in order to aim for 0.7200 and the 0.7235-40 resistance-area. Given the quote continue rising past-0.7240, the 0.7260 & 0.7300 are likely following numbers to appear on the Bulls’ radar to target.

Failure to cross 100-day SMA seems fetching the EURUSD towards 1.1300-1.1285 support-zone, which if broken highlights the importance of 1.1210 rest-point. In case the pair continue trading southwards past-1.1210, the 1.1180 and the 1.1100 are likely following numbers to appear on the chart. Alternatively, the 1.1430, the 1.1500 and the 1.1530 may keep restricting the pair’s near-term upside, breaking which 100-day SMA level of 1.1600 can please the buyers. Assuming the pair’s D1 close beyond 1.1600, the 1.1655-60 and the 1.1750 could play their roles of resistances.GBP/USD

Crude Oil Firms After API Reports Surprise Draw
Adding to the dollar’s weakness was the consolidation of Treasury yields. After yields surged to multi-year highs last week, the rise in yields has subsided, reducing demand for the dollar. Gold improved on Tuesday, but the market posted an inside move, which typically indicates investor indecision and impending volatility. Traders said the gains were related to short-covering. New longs appeared to be scarce since the rally in the equity markets forced them to re-evaluate their reasons for being long. U.S. West Texas Intermediate and international-benchmark Brent crude oil futures settled higher on Tuesday after the American Petroleum Institute reported a surprise crude oil draw.

Swiss speciality chemicals maker Clariant expects to raise 1 to 2 billion Swiss francs (1.5 billion pounds) from selling portions of its plastics and coatings business, Chief Executive Hariolf Kottmann said in an interview with the Tages-Anzeiger newspaper.

Kottmann, who is stepping down as CEO to become chairman of Clariant, said he is still convinced SABIC has no plans to take its stake to a majority.
