Update Time: 11 May 2021 03:00GMT

EUR/USD - 1.2140
Although euro's intra-day retreat from Mon's 10-week peak of 1.2177 to 1.2128 in New York session due to rise in U.S. yields suggests recent upmove has made a temporary top, as long as 1.2090 holds, outlook remains mildly bullish for marginal gain, loss of upward momentum should cap price well below daily pivotal res at 1.2242 and yield a long-overdue correction.

Below 1.2090 anytime confirms temporary top is in place, then risk would shift to downside for stronger retracement to 1.2054/59 before prospect of rebound later this week.

USD/JPY - 108.79
Although dollar's rebound from yesterday's 108.36 low suggests choppy trading above last Friday's 108.35 trough would be seen, as long as 109.05 (Monday's high) holds, downside bias remains and below said support would extend decline from May's near 3-week 109.69 peak to 108.22 (61.8% r from 107.49) but 108.08 should hold, yield another bounce.

On the upside, only above 109.05 risks gain to 109.28, break, 109.42/48 later.

U.S. will release a slew of eco. data (please refer to our EI page for details), after Friday's blockbuster U.S. jobs report, traders are keeping an eye out for CPI figures, a higher print will send U.S. yields higher and this will turn lead to usd buying n vice versa.
