On a monetary level, there is fundamentally a chance for the USD to be supported especially if Fed policymakers remain hawkish. Overall, we expect fundamentals to lead the way for the markets today, given also, the lack of high-impact financial releases from the US, yet the markets are increasingly turning their attention to the release of the US employment report for August due out on Friday\u2019s American session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a technical level, we note that the USD gained against the JPY, also due to dovish comments made BoJ policymakers. USD\/JPY rose in the past sessions yet seems to have hit a ceiling for now at the 146.60 (R1) resistance level. For the time being, we tend to maintain a bias for the sideways motion of the pair to be maintained and for a bullish outlook, we would require the pair the clearly break the 146.60 (R1) resistance line and start aiming for the 148.80 (R2) resistance base. For a bearish outlook, we would require USD\/JPY to drop, break the 145.10 (S1) support line and aim for the 143.35 (S2) support level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Fundamentals at the wheel\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GrMaABOG8X4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On a second note, we highlight the market\u2019s worries for the headwinds faced by China in its efforts to revitalize its economy, and market attention turns to the release of China\u2019s August PMI figures later this week. It\u2019s characteristic of the market\u2019s worries for China\u2019s property sector that Evergrande lost value at the restart of its share trading at the size of $2.4 bln as media reported. Should market worries for the Chinese economic recovery intensify, we may see the market sentiment turning more cautious which in turn may have a negative effect on the Aussie and the Yuan but also in other more risky assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AUD\/USD for the time being seems to have hit a floor at the 0.6400 (S1) support line. We tend to maintain a bias for the sideways motion of the pair to continue currently given also that the RSI indicator seems to be running just below the reading of 50. Should a clearcut selling interest be expressed by the market the pair may break the 0.6400 (S1) support line and aim for the 0.6285 (S2) support barrier. Should the pair find extensive buying orders along its path we may see it breaking the 0.6515 (R1) resistance line and aiming for the 0.6620 (R2) resistance hurdle.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-other-highlights-for-the-day\"><strong>Other highlights for the day:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We note an easy-going session today with no major financial releases.
