- Aussie sold-off following disappointing Building Permits data for the month of December.
- AUD/NZD extended previous session's slump, dragged lower below 20-DMA, hit session lows at 1.0915.
- The antipodean however recovered slightly following better-than-expected manufacturing PMIs coming from China.
- China Caxin PMI surprised analysts (forecast 51.3), coming in unchanged from the previous number of 51.5.
- Upside however remains capped at 20-DMA at 1.0946. Only retrace and close above will see bearish invalidation.
- Markets now await New Zealand seasonally adjusted Building Permits for December for further impetus in the pair.
- Technical studies have turned bearish. We then see scope for test of trendline support at 1.0875. Breach there could see 61.8% Fibo at 1.0721.
