I've been long the aud/jpy for a while now, might want to look into buying in if your analysis says so.

glad we got some early news in a few minutes, maybe it'll give us some ideas before the rate decision
well.. mixed news.. didn't give me any idea..
Had my SL at BE+3pips already and got stopped out now on that spike back up

Will stay out for the rate-release now and get some sleep
Good luck to you!

Less than 1% of my account. The stop when set was appropriate.

What does it mean for AUD if they hike the rate? any idea?
  • #17,936
  • Mar 1, 2010 7:27pm Mar 1, 2010 7:27pm
It means they are going to raise the interest rate for their economy which is generally a good thing. Essentially for us traders that would mean to BUY the aud.


Also, tight stops around major news announcements is not advisable, I know .

AUD is going to go off a cliff. Accept it!

If AUD starts going down, I'm going sell NZD too.

I agree but just not quite yet, sometime this week though. S&P is finally ready to fall by my charts but currencies just need to go slightly higher first.

Actually, raising interest rates is a contractionary move, not expansionary. Interest rate hikes being good for the economy is not exactly a correct statement. Which means not so good for Australians, good for speculative currency investors (long currency investors that is).
