Two weeks ago in a note titled <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/commodity-currencies-and-their-warnings" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="insights:49691" rel="noopener">Commodity Currencies and Their Warnings</a> we examined their short term setups and potential declines (mainly against the USD)This was largely on the back of a slip in the Oil price and long term levels being tested on major commodity indices. A lot of the indications in that note are still valid.Since then, we see fresh indications that yields will likely slip too which brings some JPY crosses into focus. While there have not been any breaks as yet, key levels on AUDJPY and CADJPY should be watched closely.
