Aussie Heads Down Under On Employment Miss


Morning Report: 8.30 London

• This morning, financial markets are on the back foot despite rumours of a compromise in the Ukraine/ Russia conflict. The US dollar is challenging the previous highs as the euro remains under pressure.
                                                                                                                                       

                              

                               

• The euro itself is unchanged despite Greece talks reaching a grid lock. The EUR/USD has given a large Gallic shrug of indifference as such deadlock is to be expected until we get close to the bailout deadline of February 28th.

                              

• The Australian dollar is the big mover, after employment and unemployment data came in worse than expected. The NZD/USD is trickling lower in sympathy.

                               

• Gold is nudging higher, but the downtrend still remains.

                              

• The USD/JPY is nipping back, but the highs remain in sight. *Just as we publish, the USD/JPY has started to sell off heavily.

                               
 
 
Coming up today:

• Coming up today we have the Bank of England inflation report with governor Carney speaking at 10.30.

• Following this we have US retail sales and unemployment claims at 13.30. Canadian NHPI follows at 13.30.

Trade Idea:

• The Australian employment woes raise the prospect of an imminent rate cut to further challenge the 2008 lows for the AUD/USD.

                               

A good way to play this is a LOWER trade predicting that the AUD/USD will close below 0.7600 in 7 days time for a potential return of 180%.
