FxWirePro: Aussie fails to benefit from upbeat China data dump, AUD/JPY weakness on break below 85.65

  • Upbeat China's Nov data dump  is a positive development for the Australian Dollar.
     
  • Data from China released earlier today were as follows: 

    - November Industrial Production y/y 6.2% vs 6.1% expected and 6.1% last
    - November Urban Investment YTD y/y came at 8.3% vs 8.3% expected and 8.3% last
    - November Retail Sales y/y was 10.8% vs 10.1%
    expected and 10.0% last
     
  • Aussie however, has remained relatively muted to upbeat Chinese data.
     
  • AUD/JPY is trading largely unchanged on the day, a narrow 36 pip range till now.
     
  • The pair is however, holding the break above channel top, and strong support is seen at 85.67 (5-DMA and channel top).
     
  • Break below 85.67 could see downside gain traction, test of 84 levels then likely.
     

Our previous call (http://www.econotimes.com/FxWirePro-AUD-JPY-higher-on-upbeat-China-CPI-data-finds-major-resistance-at-8560-442861) has almost achieved TP1&2.

Recommendation: Book partial profits, raise trailing stops to 85.65, hold for upside.
