The political ascending tension in US could have its toll on the greenback driving EURUSD to have a higher place above 1.11 during the Asian session.

after it could raise the demand for safe assets, as FBI former remote Director James Comey has said that Trump asked him Comey to drop an investigation into former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.

Closing the case of Flynn closes as well the investigations about Trump's campaign relation to Russia.

Comey has figured out this point, after released report from the CIA about Trump's sharing of terrorism intelligence classified information with Russia.

Trump became really in a defending situation receiving hits from everywhere, after his decision to fire Comey who has dampened Hillary Clinton campaign by announcing days before the US presidential election that her email usage for sending classified information is still under investigations.

The media in US is keeping amplifying this case adding risk to the political situation in US, as the result of this tension cannot be in the benefit of this situation.

The safe haven assets could aggregate demand again sending XAUUSD above its daily SMA200 again to be traded now close to $1245, after forming a higher bottom at $1214.23 above its previous formed bottom at $1194.91 on last Mar. 10.

With this worrying market sentiment, the Japanese yen could be the most buoyed currency.

As this low yield financing currency could be supported by unwinding of the carry trades as usual putting further pressure on Nikkei 225 major exporting companies.
