Overall market sentiments are steady today. Commodity currencies are currently the strongest ones for today so far, as led by Aussie. Dollar is recovering despite weaker than expected durable goods orders. Euro turns after after slightly weaker than expected Germany Ifo business climate. Yen and other European majors are also weak. Dollar is currently mixed, but recoveries against European majors and Yen don't warrant bottoming yet. As commodity currencies strengthen, focus will firstly be on 0.7228 temporary top in NZD/USD. Break there will resume the whole rebound from 0.6942 for 0.7268 resistance. 0.7815 temporary top in AUD/USD would also be watched, and break should resume the rise from 0.7530 to 0.7848 resistance and then 0.8004 high.
