Personal opinions today:

US President Trump was in Japan for talks on a trade deal. After the meeting he said they had reached an agreement, but gave no details. Later, US President Trump said publicly that The US trade department was not ready for trade talks with China. A week later, Trump changed his attitude after the visit Japan, China and US trade talks uncertainty, increasing market risks and affecting investment sentiment.

Britain prime minister has resigned, waiting the formal a new leader. Markets expect the next British prime minister as having a chance to change on Brexit. But more than half of those who want to run for prime minister are in favour of a hard brexit. Thus it can be seen that the UK finally moves towards a no-deal Brexit, and the GBP weakens. In addition, various risks are heating up, expected that the downside risks to the stock market, money flows into gold and yen, and crude oil price rise may be limited to $60 to $61 resistance. Commodity currencies maybe fall.

EURUSD

1.1175/1.1155 support

1.1220/1.1240 resistance

With the European elections under way and conservatives still holding a majority in parliament, the euro's stability was assured. Technical reference resistance continues at 1.1220 and 1.1240, with support at 1.1175 and 1.1155. If the market gives an early indication of a revised forecast for U.S. first-quarter real GDP on Thursday, a further drop in the dollar could be positive for the euro.

1.2635/1.2605 support

The British prime minister announced resignation and remained in office until June 7 to await his successor. But the next prime minister, who is likely to back a hard brexit, has a chance to hit sterling hard.

If the resumption of China-US trade talks is confirmed in the short term, there will be reasons to support the continued rise of the Australian dollar. Almost, the New Zealand dollar has the same reason to wait for a rebound. However, at present, there is no progress in the overall China and US trade talks. Please pay attention to the downside risks of the Australian dollar and the New Zealand dollar, and the AUDUSD may test the support of 0.6880.
