AUD/USD Surfs its Way through Despite RBA Hold

Posted on March 2, 2009 at 22:47 in Commentary, Market Analysis by Tim Salem

 

Greetings All!

The Reserve Bank of Australia maintains and holds Interest Rates at 3.25%…while looking to the next Meeting for potential action.

The overall Economy of Australia remains a bit “resilient” considering the slightly better-than-expected Data Points of the last couple of days… as the Consensus for a substantial Rate Cut began to diminish.

On the Hourly here… a nice appreciation over the last few hours leading up to the Decision is indicative of “Priced-In” behavior.

Commentary is on the Capture, so give it a Click… and Post-Time is 3:45 GMT.

 

 

 

I wanted to briefly cover a couple of “Scenarios” dependent on your particular view here… and as mentioned… the Macro-Climate does support a Bearish view with Risk Aversion still the Name of the Game.

I will be back for another Update as we see more digestion and any “bleedout” of Data during the London Session into Europe’s Day today!

;-)

    Hi Tim, Glad you posted the AUD/USD chart. This is the pair I have been watching too. With a difficult market lately this looks like a pair where a few pips can be made.
