Brexit fears weigh on GBP
The appreciation in the yen concerns the BoJ's Governor Kuroda ahead of Thursday s monetary policy meeting. The USDJPY could test the critical support at 105.54 (May 2nd low). Below this level, we expect acceleration to the downside with mid-term target seen at 100.00 mark. A recovery to 108.70 (50-day moving average) is possible if 107.90 (June 6th high) is surpassed.
Four new polls showing the Brexit in advantage ahead of the 23rd June vote, triggered a further sell-off in the GBPUSD. Cable dropped by 0.8% at 1.4120.

Below this level comma Cable could further fall to 1.3834 (Feb 28th low). A rise above 1.4190 (major Fibonacci retracement), could be the start of a short-term inversion with next resistance 1.4300/1.4330. (100-day moving average).
Asian markets are down for a third day in a row, and the limited risk appetite seems to slow down the upside move in the AUD started at the end of May. The AUDUSD finds resistance at 0.7411 (50-day moving average). If the support 0.7326 doesn’t hold comma we might have a short term inversion to the downside with next support seen at 0.7285 (200-day moving average).
After four days of positive candles, a slide to 1280 could be a reaction to a stronger US dollar across the board. The Gold critical resistance is eyed at 1305, the critical support at 1243.
