Negative 1.38 to be exact.

Ummm.... like I said, this is the first time as long as I have been keeping records that the forecast was a negative number.

Did you misread my statement?
sorry i did.

By the way my records go back on this one to November 3, 2010. Admittedly not a great data base but not a bad one either.

So here we have a projected number that is a negative. The first negative in a fairly long spell. Judging by past experience, if the reverse holds true, a positive number could make this pair move very quickly and very handsomely.

Personally, I would advise not to enter a position until the data becomes public.

But to each there own.

I'm forecasting the trade balance to be around 0.66B, how much movement would that give? given the forecast is at -1.38B.
I am still curious. Where did you get the 0.66 B number from?

It was not even close.

why such a small impact on such a negative number?
Aussie trade balance worse than forecasted,
but imports +5% outpaced exports +2%,
so there's some silver lining to deeper deficit.

Not much of a deviation from the forecaster number which was also negative.

From my experience we will only see real lasting movement when one (or two)conditions are met:

1. A positive forecast ends up being a negative.

2. The opposite.

Both occurrences are rather rare.

Manufacturing and tourism sectors are struggling and shedding jobs but the mining sector and surrounding services cannot get enough workers, people are coming from everywhere even from the US, from highly skilled to kitchen hands...
Retail seams to be picking up too lately.

looks like selling to me... buyers can't keep it up drifting down... NZD got hit hardest. Last few weeks these news have gave excuse to sell NZD.
