{quote} No it's not. It's the Full Time Employment Change of +21.6K that's driving it. The 6.1 % Unemployment Rate is due to the Participation Rate falling away to 64.5.
I am reading wrong? "Employment data -29.7K change and 6.1% unemployment in Sep vs 15.5k and 6.1% expected and 32.1k and 6.1% in Oct.

There is only ONE WAY for the RBA to truly talk down the AUD - any guessers?
"Holy Grail" exists - accepting where is the first step.

You're not reading it wrong, you're just not focusing on the most important part of the data.
The Full Time / Part Time split carries more weight than just the Total (combined aggregate). Full Time increased by 21.6k
The actual Unemployment Rate is of secondary importance and this month's rate has been further skewered by a very weak Participation rate.

No, not suggesting they're thinking of that, just saying, if they really want the AUD down a significant amount, that'll be their only option IMO...

My guess is... By saying they're thinking of cutting interest rates.

Now the other component - How much of a cut would it take for a flee from AUD?

Imo.. any cut at all would start a huge sell-off as rates have been stable for a while...
The initial exiting from positions start a chain reaction and would cause such a downturn it wouldn't be viable to hold aussie long for swap.

I agree... except the Aussie chart is bullish for at least the next 6 weeks, which -- I guess -- tells me that the RBA won't be cutting rates within that time frame, or even speak of it!

Swing Failure on the weekly coincided with Morgan Stanley calls for the AUD/USD to be around 76c (beautiful call to gather the liquidity to exits shorts and gain longs).

Most immediate resistance point is .89 but if we break this I would be looking at .92 for a retest of the range breakout. This pair will head lower, just the big boys looking to push price to a better entry point for shorts.
