AUDUSD’s negative momentum remains strong, the 0.7500 area vulnerable to giving way. All eyes will be on the US payrolls data tonight, markets believing it would take a major disappointment to dent the likelihood of a Fed hike on 15 Dec.
AUDUSD in the medium term perspectives: Lower to 0.7400. The Fed’s assertive tightening bias plus US fiscal expansion should maintain upside pressure on US interest rates and the US dollar. Against that coal and iron ore are likely to sustain a good portion of their dramatic rises, and economic data for Q4 and Q1 should improve, but these forces are subservient to the US dollar’s trend. Australia’s AAA rating will remain an issue into the May budget.
See bearish AUDUSD below 0.73 if:
1) The labor market weakens forcing the RBA to respond more aggressively to weak inflation;
2) The Fed responds to animal spirits and bullish survey data by delivering a faster pace of hikes than currently expected;
3) Trade tensions and capital outflows force genuine CNY devaluation.
