The commodity currencies such as the Australia, the New Zealand
and the Canadian dollars weakened against their major currencies in
the Asian session on Wednesday amid crude oil price drop, as
markets awaited the outcome of US-China trade talks, which have yet
to be approved by President Donald Trump, with China's poor oil
demand and OPEC+ output increases weighing on the market.
Brent crude futures slid 19 cents, or 0.3 percent, to $66.680
per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude down 16 cents,
or 0.3 percent, to $64.82.
U.S. and Chinese officials reached an agreement on a framework
to restart their trade truce and resolve China's export
restrictions on rare earth minerals and magnets, U.S. Commerce
Secretary Howard Lutnick said on Tuesday, following two days of
heated negotiations in London. The framework will first need to be
approved by leaders in Washington and Beijing.
Meanwhile, on the supply side, OPEC+ intends to boost oil output
by 411,000 barrels per day in July as it attempts to break up
production cuts for the fourth consecutive month, with some
analysts not anticipating regional demand to absorb the surplus
barrels.
The weekly data on U.S. oil inventories from the Energy
Information Administration, the Department of Energy's statistical
arm, will be closely watched by markets.
In the Asian trading today, the Australian dollar fell to 2-day
lows of 1.7565 against the euro and 0.8890 against the Canadian
dollar, from yesterday's closing quotes of 1.7519 and 0.8924,
respectively. If the aussie extends its downtrend, it is likely to
find support around 1.77 against the euro and 0.86 against the
loonie.
Against the U.S. dollar and the yen, the aussie edged down to
0.6498 and 94.20 from yesterday's closing quotes of 0.6530 and
94.57, respectively. The aussie may test support near 0.63 against
the greenback and 92.00 against the yen.
The NZ dollar fell to 2-day lows of 0.6024 against the U.S.
dollar, 1.8941 against the euro and 1.0805 against the Australian
dollar, from yesterday's closing quotes of 0.6060, 1.8876 and
1.0775, respectively. The kiwi may test support around 0.59 against
the greenback, 1.90 against the euro and 1.10 against the
aussie.
Against the yen, the kiwi edged down to 87.35 from Tuesday's
closing value of 87.77. On the downside, 85.00 is seen as the next
support level for the kiwi.
The Canadian dollar fell to a 2-day low of 1.5603 against the
euro, from yesterday's closing value of 1.5633. The loonie may test
support near the 1.38 region.
Against the U.S. dollar and the yen, the loonie edged down to
1.3684 and 105.84 from Tuesday's closing quotes of 1.3669 and
105.97, respectively. The next possible downside for the loonie is
seen around 1.38 against the greenback and 104.00 against the
yen.
Looking ahead, U.S. MBA weekly mortgage approvals data, U.S. CPI
data for May, Canada building permits for April and U.S. EIA crude
oil data are slated for release in the New York session.
