Yes if you take away what market expectations were then those figures look fine.. however its below market expectations and the weaker trend that maybe developing that has market spooked which in affect is rate rise less likely..

ummm.. its not for the feint hearted.. Fundmentally though AUD is slowing and NZD is growing.. Keep your positions small - you will get great moves on it - it elasticates alot.

AUD suffering from unemployment data.. Its another piece to the jigsaw that all is not well downunder. Still expect buyers for the yield but where the most mileage will be from the short side is on the crosses Short AUD Vs NZD,EUR,JPY.. good luck

Well I beg to differ.. AUD/NZD has been up to mid 1.37's dow to 1.3200 up to 1.3700 down to 1.2900 up to 1.3180 and now extending lower. NZ economy is on the rise, Aussie on the slide.. Could possibly see this cross back to 1.2770 or 1.2600 But ...

AUD/USD

We are still stuck in a broad range 1.0500 1.0775. so perhaps your strategy of playing the range is right for the moment. Im looking at the crosses as im bearish USD so running naked AUD is not the good option. Prefer selling AUD/NZD on the short.

AUD/USD

Aussie getting smacked after the no rate changed. Losing against Eur GBP and our country cousins NZD. Infact AUD/NZD dropped by 100pips.. As many are looking to buy AUD for the yield,the economy locally seems jaded despite what many economists ...

Once again bad economic numbers are presenting themselves danger for Australia. I dont see this to be the standout performer like previous months, instead it will now lag and lose against certain cross rates. Obviously the measurement is always ...

AUD/USD

Aussie approaching a critical resistance point @ 1.0750. No doubt this will be tested as the US dollar looks shakey once more. Euro looks bid to old boots as it discards the debt crisis. Aussie will therefore be dragged up in its wake.. AUD/NZD has ...

AUD/NZD driving this market.. With positive signs coming out of NZD expect more flows going in. resistance on NZD .8220 and breakout has technical target at .8350-.8400 1.0720 proving a temp stumbling block on AUD/USD.. AUD/NZD 1.3050 broken next ...
