AUD/NZD Price Analysis: Looking bearish after falling back into 1.0700

  • The AUD/NZD is softening up this week, sifting back into the 1.0700 handle.
  • The Aussie's jumpstart last week failed to materialize any meaningful bullish momentum.

The AUD/NZD has settled back steadily this week, slipping away from last week's late swing high into 1.0750. The Aussie (AUD) is broadly lower on the week, shedding weight against the rest of the major currencies.

The AUD/NZD has spent most of 2023 cycling in rough sideways churn, rotating between boundaries roughly between 1.0950 and 1.0650.

The AUD/NZD has been stuck to the 200-hour Simple Moving Average (SMA) ever since rising into the high side of intraday action last week, but the pair's bullish recovery appears to have been cut short as the Aussie waffles against the Kiwi.

The AUD is down over two and a quarter percent from early November's peak near 1.0940, hitting a swing low within reaching distance of October's bottom bids of 1.0625.

A bullish reversal ran into a hard wall at 1.0750 last Friday, and the pair has steadily deflated ever since, threatening to destabilize back into lows near 1.0660.

USD/JPY eyes August swing low, near 155.20 ahead of US NFP

USD/JPY retests the August monthly swing low during the Asian session on Friday as a more hawkish repricing of BoJ rate-hike bets and a suspected intervention continue to underpin the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, the US Dollar is seen consolidating the previous day's heavy losses amid soft US bond yields, further weighing on the currency pair as traders keenly await the US NFP report.

AUD/USD consolidates above 0.7200; US NFP awaited

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7200, near its highest level since mid-May, as bulls await the US NFP report for more cues on the Fed's policy path before placing fresh bets. Meanwhile, the recent decline in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar depressed near its lowest level in over a week and acts as a tailwind for the Aussie amid the RBA's hawkish tilt.

Gold tumbles as blockbuster US NFP lift US Dollar, Treasury yields

Gold (XAU/USD) falls sharply on Friday, snapping a two-day recovery after the US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report surprised strongly to the upside. The metal briefly climbed above $4,500 on Thursday, gaining nearly 2%, but has since erased a large part of that advance.

Crypto’s $638 million buyback boom may not be as bullish as it looks
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols reportedly spent $638 million to buy back their native tokens in August, up 17% from a year earlier. On the surface, the buyback trend suggests the cryptocurrency industry is maturing fast, adopting one of Wall Street’s oldest tools to bolster valuations and distribute revenue. The headline becomes less impressive once the number is opened up.
Why hawkish Bank of Japan expectations aren't enough to sustain the Japanese Yen rally

The Japanese Yen (JPY) experienced a sudden burst higher after falling back below the 160.00 psychological mark against the US Dollar (USD) earlier this week amid a more hawkish repricing of Bank of Japan (BoJ) rate hike expectations.

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight

The Oil market may look calmer than it did a few months ago, but diesel is sending a very different message. The US diesel crack spread, the premium of ultra-low sulphur diesel futures over WTI, recently surged above $100 per barrel for the first time, reaching an intraday record of just over $102.00.
