If AUD was following those prices it should have been less than then 50c a long time ago. There must be something else.

Iron ore, coal, and LNG biggest commodity export earners in Oz. Iron ore and coal in oversupply. LNG prices linked with oil prices. All pretty weak currently

BHP.... ouch but you would think the AUD would tank on that being one of the blue chip stocks.

Not in this market...

There is a real juggle for assets and some brave souls have decided to buy some ..

Fundamentals and RBA agree with you lasty. A/U should be lower if following commodity prices. But 5 minute chart shows trying to make another push up as I type (correction...it was but got hit on head). Will have to break down sometime, but my shorts have tight SLs today.

precious metals do have longer term impact on aud but have to agree, the currency does not always follow the commodities on short term, there are also too many other factors involved.

sorry chisel but had to ask how did you come up with 50c theory is it just a number thrown around or there is clear fundamentals supporting that number

BHP actually closed higher. Qantas with a 600m profit was sold though. But commodity prices have rebounded this month pretty much everything is up substantially from the bottom lows. Iron ore up over 25% so there you go, combine that with the fact that the Aussie has a majority selling bias atm... see you all at 75

Thanks for the eye opener blue z. Up appx. one third since low in mid Jan. In only a month. That IS BIG. I'm surprised that I hadn't come across that info anywhere B4. So I'm wondering why. China doesn't need all that iron ore. Any idea what demand has caused that spike? I'm pretty sure Roy Hill, Gina Rhinehardt's Iron Ore mine in W.A. has just starting shipping ore. I would have expected that additional supply to decrease price, at least once the shipments reach full capacity, bcus it's another big mine. I have kept up with coal price....it's still in the pits. I work in one of them. It is at times a month by month issue to move the black crap off stockpiles to discerning buyers.

No fundamentals? Really?

What did you say here a few hours ago?

if people are wondering why the Aussie being bought big time just have a look at mining stocks and commodities prices

Let's go back to 2001 when AUD was as low as 47,5 cents. It was right before the mining boom started. Now the mining boom is over and I still don't understand why AUD is so high. It'll fall to at least 62,5 (support of 2008) in the future. I just don't understand why there is so much speculation and bottom fishing. But I understand that some are happy with a few hundred pips.

AUD devalued a lot over a last year. If trading on long terms, looking at economy as a whole, does anyone think Long on AUDUSD is good opportunity?
