• Upbeat Australian GDP report boosts Aussies bulls. Australia’s Q1 GDP q/q came in at +1.1% versus +0.8% expected and from +0.7% prior (revised higher from +0.6%).  
• The latest GDP figures added to the recent streak of upbeat fundamentals, including Aus trade, jobs and building approvals data.  
• Stabilization in commodities market also lends support to the bullish momentum in the Aussie.  
• Caixin PMI pointed to sharpening contraction in May, in contrast to official PMI which indicated slight expansion (came in barely changed at 50.1).  
• AUD/CAD extends gains above 23.6% Fib level to hit highs of 95.27, but pared some gains to currently trade at 0.9509.  
• The pair is taken a reversal from the potential reversal zone on the Bullish Bat Pattern.  
• Bullish invalidation seen only below 0.9150. RSI divergence from price action seen, supports gains.
