Aussie collapse on employment shock

Morning Report: 08.45 London

• This morning, the Australian dollar is dropping heavily after employment change data came in well below estimates. The AUD/USD is down 1.34%, while the AUD/JPY is off by 1.17%.






 

• Commodities are also suffering, with gold down by 0.33% and silver off by 0.69%.






 

• Aside from this cluster, markets are generally steady after Wall street hit record highs last night, with the dollar index surging.

 



 


 

• The NZD/USD is falling heavily in sympathy with the Aussie.





 

Coming up today:

• Coming up today, we have the ECB monthly bulletin at 09.00. This is followed by European CPI and a speech by German Buba president Weidmann at 10.00.

• From 13.30 we switch to North America, with core CPI and unemployment claims.

• At 15.00, we have Philly Fed Manufacturing. The final item of the days is a speech by Fed Chairman Bernanke at 16.10.

Trade Idea:

• Silver rose from the lows of its recent rage to break through the highs and now the opposite could occur as the precious metal heads back lower.


 

A ONE TOUCH trade predicting that Silver will touch 19.00 in the next 7 days could return 213% if successful.
