• AU RBA cash rate & US Labour numbers the key headliners this week.
• RBA expected to keep rates same @ 3.60% & US NFP expected +51K change & 4.3% unemp rate.
• AUDUSD to continue consolidating (bullish bias), most likely pivoting between 0.6500 – 0.6608.
• Critical week in markets this week!
• AU is expecting the RBA to announce no change in the cash rate @ 3.60%, which is widely expected in the markets, especially after last week’s increase in CPI.
• US labour (NFP) is expecting a +ve employment change of 51K but the unemployment rate to remain the same @ 4.3%.
• Any deviation from these figures will most likely cause a spike in price, so be aware!
• We’re still expecting AUD to hover between 65-66c this week, unless news pushes it above 66c or below 65c.
• We’re also noticing reduced flows into the USD, which is creating weakness in the USD This could support the AUD potentially reaching 67c or close to it!
• Get ready for action, importers!
