Equities across Asia are rallying, ASX up 50 points, disappointing retail sales had almost no effect on the Aussie, like I said earlier the numbers don't take into account massive increase in online shopping, especially before Christmas.

Coming rate cut not so certain anymore:

http://www.smh.com.au/business/job-a...206-1r0nf.html

...ANZ says it does not expect an interest rate cut at the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) February board meeting tomorrow but does expect one at the March meeting.

but when comparing with ASX (SPI)200 Friday after market trading its lost 15 points .

it's not a good point for new short

I'm calling BS on this one. ANZ are probably trying to make themselves look better for not reducing their rates in the event of a rate cut tomorrow.

Still a good 70-75% chance of a rate cut tomorrow.

By the way, anyone who thinks there will be no rate cut tomorrow should be taking the $3.00 odds on offer by the bookies immediately!

anz no longer following RBA rate cut , they have change there policy , they change rate based on internal review (may be based on profit earn)

If more people agree with ANZ's sentiments then I think when EUR and US opens tonight then the AUD will adjust accordingly (rise). However at the moment given that it is still in the 1.072x, the asia big boys do not agree.

This move might be a retracement for the break of weekly FIB 78.6.

IF the pair manages to break below 0700, i hope we can expect around 100 pips more down south.

ADD:Same has happened before. Please check 61.8 level.

At the rate it is now 1.07ish has the market priced a rate cut or market believes in ANZ ( no rate cut) ?

$US1.50 is entirely plausible, as is parity against the euro.
