The U.S. dollar appreciated against its most major counterparts
in the European session on Monday, as heightened tensions between
the U.S. and China and continued uncertainty over a Brexit trade
deal dampened risk sentiment.
The U.S. is preparing to sanction at least a dozen more Chinese
officials over their role in the recent disqualification of Hong
Kong legislators, media reports suggest.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said that
Beijing would take countermeasures should the U.S. continue down
the "wrong path."
Traders have started pricing in the prospect of a 'no deal'
outcome to EU-UK trade negotiations after the Sun newspaper
reported that Prime Minister Boris Johnson was ready to walk away
from negotiations "within hours" amid stubborn differences over
fishing rights in U.K. waters, fair competition and ways to solve
future disputes.
Johnson will call time on a Brexit-deal if Brussels refuses to
budge from their "outrageous" demands, it was said.
Weak U.S. jobs data released last week helped raise expectations
of fiscal stimulus being passed before year-end.
The greenback climbed to near a 3-week high of 1.3224 versus the
pound from Friday's closing value of 1.3429. If the dollar
continues its uptrend, 1.31 is possibly seen as its next resistance
level.
Data from the Lloyds Bank subsidiary Halifax and IHS Markit
showed that UK house price growth increased at a faster pace in
November.
House prices grew 1.2 percent in November from October, when
prices were up 0.3 percent. Economists had forecast prices to climb
0.5 percent.
Continuing its early rally, the greenback firmed to a 4-day high
of 104.31 versus the yen. Next key resistance for the currency is
seen around the 108.00 mark.
The greenback spiked up to 1.2079 against the euro, registering
a 5-day high. The greenback is seen finding resistance around the
1.17 region.
Data from Destatis showed that German industrial output grew
more-than-expected in October, driven by the higher production of
automobile and capital goods.
Industrial production climbed 3.2 percent month-on-month, faster
than the 2.3 percent rise in September. Economists had forecast the
monthly growth to ease to 1.6 percent in October.
The greenback moved up against the kiwi and the aussie, reaching
near a 2-week high of 0.7006 and a 5-day high of 0.7373,
respectively. The currency is poised to target resistance around
0.68 against the kiwi and 0.72 against the aussie.
The greenback approached 1.2833 against the loonie, climbing
from a 2-1/2-year low of 1.2773 set at 5:15 pm ET. If the greenback
continues its uptrend, 1.33 is possibly seen as its next resistance
level.
In contrast, the greenback pulled back to 0.8900 against the
franc, from a 4-day high of 0.8947 seen at 4:15 am ET. On the
downside, 0.86 is possibly seen as its next support level.
Looking ahead, Canada Ivey PMI for November will be out in the
New York session.
