China trade balance doesn't surprise me at all. As expected, worse than Jan.

We will have a better chance to long AUD again.

The big risk next week is Australia Jobless rate and NZ rate hike. It could change game a lot.

Anyway, I think any long orders under 0.89 are very safe.

Are you sure you're not biased to losing money on this? What's the logic? What's the point? What's the timeframe? What's the size of the position? AUD was basically flat all February and has done pretty well thus far in March, and not just you, but a lot of people on here are still short. Go figure.

No arguement needed IMO my friend. It can be easily seen that AUD currently is meeting resistance. This SR line will be critical to decide if the pair will go higher or dip down to where it came from.

Not surprise, everyone in China is on holidays during the Chinese Golden week holidays at that time.

I beg to differ, .90 is an important line, if it cannot be held on, we will fall back into bears territory.

If so - then why a 6-standard-deviation miss? Didn't the 45 economists who forecast this data already know this when applying their forecasts?

Why are you still holding a long from under 0.89? I would have closed before NFP - says the man holding an epic short in the red...

if the aud drops on weaker than expected Chinese figures it does not represent a good buying opportunity to me. the aud does seems to be shrugging off Chinese numbers somewhat at present so i guess we will see if there is any reaction on mondays open or not. copper off 4% in a single session is a massive move though. as a commodity currency i think the aud will come under pressure next week if metals continue lower

If you are referring to MH370 there's no light as to its where about other than entering Vietnam airspace let alone the cause yet.

But yes, it was terrible to the family and relative of the passengers and crews waiting for an answer. It's a torture.

Seasonally-adjusted the data is stunningly bad...

  1. *CHINA FEB. SEASONALLY ADJUSTED EXPORTS FALL 34% MOM
  2. *CHINA FEB. SEASONALLY ADJUSTED IMPORTS FALL 0.4% MOM

Very good point Ken, I did not think of it that way.

This is the way I saw it.


China are huge exporters - as we know almost everything we buy these days is made in China or has most of the parts made in China.
So the fact that exports slowed down is a rather large signal that the world is slowing down (not spinning) but if the world is slowing consuming.

^ or is that too drastic a view?
