Headline numbers might show that unemployment percentage has stayed the same but look behind that and it's not exactly pretty eg "■Aggregate monthly hours worked decreased 3.9 million hours to 1,619.7 million hours"

Employment has gone up because full time jobs are changing to part time jobs. Unemployment has also risen. I'm not expecting a huge move either way on this data but I could very easily be wrong.

Let AUD falls about 75 pips against its peers before you try LONG...it seems things are not going well for Aussie economy...there have been diversion with S&P and DOW...these indexes are multi-year high but AUD has reached a lowest point against its peers...so something must be fundamentally wrong with AUD...

Feb 6, 2013 6:38pm

give it time, it will go up .. numbers are all AUD positive

Feb 6, 2013 6:54pm

1.0295 is a strong support level that really needs to be taken out for audusd to go down .. this will determine whether we break down or bounce up

Feb 6, 2013 7:17pm

1.0295 seems to be holding FOR NOW... be aware of 1.0325 to 1.0335 as a supply zone

Feb 6, 2013 6:33pm

But why going down ? Manipulating ?

Feb 6, 2013 7:36pm

Aussie has a fundamental affect but only in negative news. look at unchanged interest rate
90 pips down.
Only Chinese Positive news affect on it . I believe it should consider Chinese dollar not a AUS
