Secret modelling reveals COVID-19 cases peak still weeks away - The Australian

Ross J Burland FXStreet

The Australian reports that Victorians face weeks of higher coronavirus infections, with average daily cases to peak at 1100 by the end of next week and staying above 1000 for eight days.

The Victorian government’s own estimates, obtained by The Australian, show the average number of new cases is not expected to decline until the last week of August.

This news follows Wednesday's shocking numbers which marked Victoria’s the most devastating day of Covid-19 cases and deaths.

There were 725 new cases of the virus identified.

AUD/USD, however, has defied gravity under the circumstances and printed a fresh high yesterday.

AUD does a good job of capitalising on renewed USD weakness and the surges in gold.

AUD/USD rose from 0.7175 to 0.7241 – an 18-month high – before slipping back to 0.7195.

From the charts, the head and shoulders has been invalidated by the fresh highs on dollar weakness, although a restest of 0.7150 prior to fresh upside could be the price action's next port of call.

GBP/USD threatens the 200-day SMA near 1.3440

GBP/USD rapidly leaves behind Wednesday’s strong advance, coming under heavy pressure and retesting the 1.3440 zone, where the critical 200-day SMA is located. Cable’s deep pullback follows the strong gains in the Greenback, while investors continue to pencil in a potential BoE rate cut in March.

Gold remains below $5,200 despite tariff jitters and geopolitical risks

Gold is seen consolidating in a range below the $5,200 mark during the Asian session on Friday amid mixed cues. Trade jitters, along with the risk of a potential US-Iran war, act as a tailwind for the safe-haven bullion. Meanwhile, the Fed's hawkish outlook keeps the US Dollar close to the monthly high and caps the non-yielding yellow metal. Nevertheless, the commodity remains on track to register gains for the fourth straight week, though the fundamental backdrop warrants some caution for bullish traders.
