RBA Statement on Monetary Policy

From rba.gov.au

At its meeting today, the Board decided to leave the cash rate unchanged at 2.5 per cent. Growth in the global economy was a bit below trend in 2013, but there are reasonable prospects of a pick-up this year. The United States economy, while affected by adverse weather, continues its expansion and the euro area has begun a recovery from recession, albeit a fragile one. Japan has recorded a significant pick-up in growth. China's growth remains generally in line with policymakers' objectives, though it may have slowed a little in early 2014.

please go and just look it will bring tears to your heart

Three orphaned brothers have been left speechless and almost in tears after generous Australians donated more than half a million dollars in one day to help them buy their family home so that they could stay together.

Unless the daily candle closes above .9300, I think the time has come for some selling. As bullish as I've been the past 2 months, things are looking a little overbought and exhausted. This could be the top/start of a correction lower(maybe retest .9000 or .8900 again).

Always remember, buy the dips in an uptrend and sell the rallies in a downtrend. Happy Trading!

Thanks for all your assessment. Now mine. There is no reason to buy but for USD weakness. USD will continue to be weak for sometime. And Crimea, don't know how it will affect. For now it's a push. And China economy factor.

Hit the stops of those who were short...then hit the stops of those who went long...now a little patience and let the true direction show itself.

Mar 31, 2014 8:39pm

overbought condition.. RBA a little more forthright in jawboning the AUD lower.

Mar 31, 2014 8:39pm

Language is a little more dovish, trying to talk down the currency a little - maybe some short term weakness to allow buying around 0.92.

Me thinks this pair ain't done with its upward action.

What about loss taking.

No rate hikes. And The continuing crisis in the Ukraine could see investors dump riskier currencies like the Aussie in favor of the safe-haven US dollar as well as JPY.

I think Commodity price should be weight high as AUD is relying on exporting metals a lot.

Althouhg AUD maybe is sell for now, but I am not sure still Aussie is riskier currency for long term.

Buy AUD/USD under 9200 near with stop under 9150 is good risk reward for a move to 9400+

Selling AUD/USD here is fine but you probably want to pick a better pair to sell against. I would suggest CAD if you cautious or GBP if you want some action.

If you dont know, now you know

EUR/AUD is just GBP/AUD with EUR/GBP and if you know that pair you know its under pressure ahead of huge event risk from the ECB. I would stick to the cleaner GBP/AUD if i was going to buy either.

AUD/NZD is the pair to buy the AUD with cause of wear we are post RBNZ rate hikes.

This pair will fall to -rally level at 0.9080 before finding more robust bulls. I will eventually be going for 0.96 but first, looking for a robust retracement. I am playing this by proxy on euraud long. Will short later
