I’m still looking for buying opportunities on AUD/USD after Australian CPI rose at the fastest pace since Q4 2011, this caused AUD/USD to rally overnight.
Wait for a pullback to buy this pair around the 0.9370 to 0.9390 area with a profit target of 0.9470 to 0.9500 and a SL at 0.9350.
Overall Bias on this trade
This trade is based off a very strong inflation reading overnight. I remain fundamentally bullish on AUD in the long term but feel that 0.9500 may provide a solid cap for the price action for now.
The RBA have so far left rates unchanged and gave the market a neutral tone, however inflation is now close to the upper bound of the central bank’s 2-3% target band, which prompted fears that the central bank may subvert its neutral tone.
If the price falls down to 0.9200 – 0.9250 I expect the price to be supported, so these would be the best prices to buy AUD/USD for a longer term trade.At no time should anyone view the information presented anywhere on this website as advice, recommendation or proven.
