Morning Report: Aussie Slumps On Unexpected Rate Cut


Morning Report: 8.30 London

• This morning, the Australian dollar is the big mover after cutting rates to 2.25% form 2.50% in an unexpected move that matches the other commodity heavyweight Canada. The AUD/JPY is down -2.42%, with the AUD/USD off by 2.18%. The NZD/USD is also down in sympathy.                                                                                                                                                                                                       

                              

                              

                              

• The move has been good news for the US dollar which is heading back towards the highs, while the S&P 500 holds after Monday’s rally.

                               
                                 
                                

• Gold is on the rise as the precious metal continues to chop and change.
 
                               

• The pound is continuing to under perform, with the EUR/GBP rising again and the GBP/JPY slipping to challenge the lows.

                               

                               

 Coming up today:

• Coming up today we have UK construction PMI at 09.30.

• Other than this we have a quiet day with Canadian RMPI the days other highlight 13.30.

• Late this evening we have New Zealand employment change & unemployment date.
 
Trade Idea:

• The Aussie has been hit hard this morning, with the NZD/USD falling in sympathy. With commodity prices still depressed, the could be still downside for both pairs from here, but the NZD/USD looks the more attractive target.

                               

A good way to play this is a LOWER trade predicting that the NZD/USD will close below 0.7125 in 7 days time for a potential return of 148%.
