Aussie Surge & Euro Pause

Morning Report: 07.00 London

• This morning, the US dollar is pulling back significantly for the first time since May 21st as traders book profits ahead of the June Non Farm Payroll numbers.

                           

• The dollar pairs are generally pushing higher, with the Australian dollar leading the charge. The AUD/USD is up 0.97%, with the AUD/JPY up 0.76% on account of the stronger yen. This morning the RBA opted to keep rates at 2.00% while remaining coy about when rates could be cut.

                          
 
                          

• The NZD/USD is up 0.29% in sympathy.

                          

• The euro is holding steady despite the Greek troubles with small gains for the euro so far today.

                           

• The yen pairs are mixed with the USD/JPY off by 0.22% as the yen looks to reverse some of its recent losing run.

                                                                    
Coming up today:

• Coming up today we have Spanish unemployment change at 08.00 and German unemployment change at 08.55.

• Following this we get UK Construction PMI at 09.30 with net lending to individuals released at the same time.

• European Flash estimates are released at 10.00.

• This afternoon is relatively light with FOMC member Brainard speaking at 15.00 and Factory orders released at the same time.

Trade Idea:

• The pound’s post election funk has continued despite a small rally this morning. Confusion still reigns over an EU referendum while the prospect of a rate hike still remains distant.

                                  

• As such, there could be more room for downside for the GBP/USD with a LOWER trade a good way to play this.
                                    
A lower trade predicting that the GBP/USD will close below 1.5150 in 7 days time for a potential return of 155%.
