Australian Dollar Forecast: Neutral

  • The Australian Dollar firmed slightly last week as markets contemplate rate paths
  • Treasury yields continue to climb, broadly supporting the US Dollar
  • Trend line support remains in play for AUD/USD. Will it hold?

Trading Forex News: The Strategy

The Australian Dollar found some friends last week after tumbling in the week prior to a 10-month low on a stronger US Dollar and China growth concerns.

The ‘big dollar’ remains supported after the much-anticipated Jackson Hole economic symposium hosted by the Kansas City Federal Reserve.

The headline act was of course Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech on Friday. His comments saw interest rate markets rethink the rate path for the Fed. They are now pricing a slightly higher probability of a tightening in policy at the November Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting at around 60%.

Powell reiterated many of his prior remarks, namely that policy will need to remain tight until the 2% inflation target is well within grasp.

He acknowledged that recent readings were a good sign but that further evidence that price pressures were contained was needed. He also made it clear that decisions going forward are data-dependent.

Further along the curve, the rates market scaled back on cuts by the Fed next year and this helped to drive the benchmark 2-Treasury yield within a whisker of the 17-year high seen in July at 5.118%.

The spread between the 2- and 10-year Australian Commonwealth Government Bond (ACGB) and Treasuries continues to be supportive of USD.

The China situation continues to bump along the road with the government there announcing measures to help first-home buyers acquire a property.

The beleaguered Chinese real estate market needs all the help it can get and this latest announcement has generally been interpreted by the market as not enough, but a step in the right direction and has led to hopes that more stimulus might be forthcoming.

For AUD/USD in the week ahead, US yields and news out of China may continue to provide volatility in the price action. On the domestic front, retail sales and building approvals will be the focus.

The monthly CPI number will also be released, but its reliability is yet to be proven for where the more accurate quarterly CPI gauge is at.

Traits of Successful Traders

The failure to close below the trend line seen on the weekly chart and the prior low at 0.6386 could see further consolidation. A daily close below it may see a reacceleration of bearish momentum.

Nearby resistance could be at the breakpoints near 0.6460 ahead of a cluster of breakpoints and prior peaks in the 0.6595 – 0.6615.

AUD/JPY TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

AUD/JPY consolidated last week in a similar fashion to AUD/USD after making a 2-month low the week prior.

There are a series of prior lows and breakpoints in the 92.80 – 93.00 area that may provide a support zone.

Further down, support may lie at breakpoints of 92.30 and 92.44 ahead of the 50% Fibonacci Retracement level at 91.85 which is near the July low of 91.80.

Support might also be at 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement level at 90.50. To learn more about Fibonacci techniques, click on the banner below.
