Key Quotes
“Commodity prices are still supportive, with the Westpac Australian Export Commodity Index edging up to a 3 month high. Both iron and coal product sets have performed well, the latter catching up to strong steel production demand.”
“The event calendar this week is second-tier: Tue it’s Jul NAB business confidence, and Wed we see Aug Westpac consumer sentiment and Jun housing finance data.”
“3 months ahead: Fair value for the cross is around 0.92. We see that as a fair target for the remainder of 2017. Supportive of the AUD are the rebound in iron ore prices and positive Chinese economic data, as well as the RBNZ’s on-hold stance (arguably even more entrenched than the RBA’s).”
