AUD/USD rebounds toward 0.7100 despite mixed Aussie jobs data
AUD/USD has picked up fresh bids toward 0.7100 despite the release of mixed Australian employment data, which showed that the economy added 17.8K new jobs in January and the jobless rate held steady at 4.1%, compared to a rise to 4.2% expected. The data does little to temper bets for additional tightening by the RBA, supporting the Aussie. The US Dollar, on the other hand, preserves the overnight gains led by less dovish FOMC Minutes, which could cap the upside for the currency pair.

Mixed UK inflation data no gamechanger for the Bank of England
Food inflation plunged in January, but service sector price pressure is proving stickier. We continue to expect Bank of England rate cuts in March and June. The latest UK inflation read is a mixed bag for the Bank of England, but we doubt it drastically changes the odds of a March rate cut.
