Key quotes

“AUD/USD extended its move lower on Friday, completing a large top to suggest that further weakness is likely. With daily MACD momentum also pointing lower and weekly MACD crossing below MACDA, we see support initially at 0.7651, ahead of a fresh test of last week’s low at 0.7622.”

“Removal of last week’s low at 0.7622 could open up to a fall back to the cluster of supports at 0.7583/57 – the early February lows – where we would expect to see a first attempt to hold. Below here though would significantly reinforce the top and open up a much more aggressive downside, with the ‘measured top objective’ seen much lower, close to the 200-day average, currently at 0.7319.”

“Resistance moves to 0.7727/30, removal of which would ease the immediate downside bias and see 0.7815/38 next. Above here would warn of a false breakout lower and favor an extension of the rangebound environment.”

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.
