Watch out for a potential comeback for the AUD in the EUR/AUD pair in the form of a head and shoulders pattern. Not unlike the one in Mid Feb. First shoulder has potentiall already formed.

Oh yeah dutch, this move was mostly about the yen.

Kiwis open lends evidence to further declines. 7896 looks probable and then 7798 is certainly possible now.

8020 is important to hold. Break above this level could lead to a consolidation period.

With differences in rate outlooks, buying the aussie and selling the kiwi on the yield and risk yo/yo seems prudent.

When you say "some one sold at .80" What do you been by that (asides from the obvious) and how apart from just looking at the price retracement can you tell?

Multiple reasons.

Basically, the same reasons are still intact to sell as what caused the sell off Friday and technically this move up from 7920 is still a retracement. Only gold is slightly higher which will support kiwi and aussie moderately.

If 8020/8030 gives in kiwi I will reevaluate things and probably stop it out.



The reason it sold off on Friday was all about risk aversion. With the low yielders (yen and swissy) still climbing and US stock futures in the toilet nothing has really fundamentally changed.

Technically, I do have mulitple indicators and levels I'm watching which will tip me off if the kiwi is reversing rather than retracing.

Hope this helps.

With the low yielders poised for a bounce and the RBA decision in a few hours it's best to wait IMO. Very aggressive traders could buy the aussie again...... The bias is up in the very short term as the RBA has a real problem on their hands with inflation very high and commod demand strong for the foreseeable future.

Labor is the key to the RBA printing presses

Lots O stuff to think about regarding the state of the Australian economy.

1. Commod demand and prices are not going to cool in the near term
2. Today's increase in the current account deficit can be attributed to transportation bottlenecks/issues. If it keeps ballooning this will have to be rethought.
3. Consumers are feeling the pinch with slowing retail and increasing foreclosures.
4. Labor Labor Labor data is so critical.
5. RBA statement shows equal concern for consumers/credit as it does for inflation worries.
6. Day to day Aud/usd moves just might fall back into lockstep with risk appetite without new data to focus on.

No easy answers here.
