Mixed market tones playing out so far in European morning trade

  • Bond yields inch higher, dollar nudges lower, stocks pinned down

There's some mixed undertones playing out in European morning trade so far, as we're probably seeing markets settling in after the Easter break. The dollar is trading a little lower (except against the yen and franc) even as bond yields are inching higher.

EUR/USD is up 0.2% to trade back above 1.0800 but still faces near-term resistance closer to 1.0823 from its 100-hour moving average. GBP/USD is also still flirting with daily support at 1.3000, trading up to 1.3030 currently from a low of 1.2990 earlier.

USD/JPY remains the notable exception with the yen dropping like a fly across the board. The pair trades up 1.1% to 128.30 levels at the moment.

Elsewhere, European stocks are still being pressured lower by nearly 1% across the board. And US futures have erased earlier gains with S&P 500 futures trading down 0.1% currently.
