Aussie next week : LISTEN CAREFULY EACH WORD FROM RBA
- Fundamental Analysis:
I continue my analysis with a typical commodity currency: Aussie.
We saw a big jump of commodity currencies last week: Aussie, Loonie, Kiwi also soar up greatly. This is really a surprise to me because I don’t think commodity currencies will rally. Each day, I read more than 100 articles from many sources, and they suggested some reasons to explain the hidden force behind the rally of commodity currencies.
Some said that due to slowdown of China economy, PBOC would consider more stimulus, and this would benefit for Aussie + Kiwi. Some explain that RBA moves the bias from dovish to neutral, and the cut down interest rate period officially ends. Others claim that positive data of Australia economy drove A/U higher.
In my opinion, I ignore expectation of PBOC stimulus; simply it still not happen, we cannot talk about what still not occur. I also eliminate positive data reason because in FX market, commodity currencies usually react greatly towards comments from central banks than economic data. I think Aussie reacted with RBA’s Governor Glenn Stevens Speech last Tuesday.
Hence, this week, we should be cautious and listen carefully two main events:
- RBA Meeting on Monday
- RBA’s Governors Glenn Stevens speech on Wednesday.
Last week, I really didn’t dare to open LONG position of A/U. The main reason I didn’t dare to LONG AUDUSD despite of I knew A/U would rally: I feared impacts from USD. US economic data last week were so good; it could affect on A/U any time.
The main question in my head now is : When does this bullish trend end ?.
I know surely that next week:
- US economic data will be positive: I expect ISM PMI + NFP report are positive.
- Manufacturing PMI of China would be negative.
Those data have negative impact on Aussie , and I know surely that:
- RBA would keep unchanged interest rate.
- RBA would keep neutral bias about monetary policy in the being time.
Those above events have positive impact on Aussie.
So how do we trade ? . We knew Aussie ignore almost all major US economic data last week to rally, it would happen again or responds to what occurs in US?.
I know that there a lot of LONG positions of AUDUSD in the being time. Most positions place take profit at 0.95: 250 pips from current price. Last week, A/U moves 250 pips from 0.9050 to 0.9300. Will it finish the trend at 0.95 level this week?
Indeed, I think the rally of A/U is unusual. Most analysts believe that A/U would move lower next quarter. Please visit:

And with slowdown of China economy, A/U could not hold the bullish trend in the long time.
However, let rethink about the nature of Aussie. Aussie is risk currency. When global economy is positive, investors would sell USD to buy AUD to get profit from risk currency. US economy gradually performs well, and this would push investors to take risk from risk currencies such as Aussie + Kiwi.
One more thing, A/U also correlates with Gold; the uptrend of Gold last quarter could have certain impact on A/U. Gold up – A/U up as a result.
Combine all elements having impact on A/U:
- China economy
- Gold price
- Risk currency
- RBA comments
- Economic data
