AUD/USD consolidates supply from highs of 0.7637, bulls targetting 0.7688 fibo
|AUD/USD is consolidating the supply from highs of 0.7637 with a strong rally after the initial volatility post the RBA decision and announcements.
The RBA cut rates to 1.5% overnight on the back of limited inflationary pressures and a moderate pace of economic growth. "The banner headlines in Australia recording the fact that rates reached a historic record low don't get the world outside Australia quite so excited: 1.5% seems quite high these days, and there's definitely less agonising about a cut from 1.75 to 1.5% than about how far into negative territory to go, or how and when to increase asset purchases," explained Kit Juckes, economist at Societe Generale. From here, the markets will now continue to try and gauge whether the RBA will act again should the economy continue to only grow at a moderate pace. All eyes are now on the BoE and nonfarm payrolls at the end of the week.
