Key Quotes
“The rate cut and dovish posture of the RBA has seen accelerated the
retracement of the Aussie's run-up in the first four months. Softer
employment data keeps the pressure on the Australian dollar. Full-time
jobs were lost for the second consecutive month. The participation rate
eased while the unemployment rate was unchanged. The point here is that
the speculative market is still unwinding a substantial long position
accumulated in recent months, and prospects of another rate cut,
provides strong encouragement.
The $.7200 area that the Aussie is flirting with is important. A
convincing break signals a move to $0.7000, which is technical
objective. The low set in mid-January is near $0.6830, and in the bigger
picture where we think it is heading.”
