The Non-farm payrolls came in and didn’t give us the volatility we were looking for in the US dollar, however we did see some moves in the EUR/USD pair.
I talked about the Aussie dollar yesterday and covered it on my Benzinga interview massively as well along with my outlook on Crude Oil and the US dollar.
In their monetary policy statement today at the beginning of the Asian session, the Reserve Bank of Australia said the nation’s economy is set to remain subdued and warned Japan’s monetary policy could spur flows that support the Aussie dollar.
“Gross domestic product growth is still expected to be below trend until mid-2015,” the RBA said “could hold the Australian dollar at a higher level than real economic fundamentals would imply,” it said. And that’s how the investors got excited and we saw some up-moves in Mr. Aussie.
But will this rise be long-lived? The technicals don’t suggest so.
Don’t forget to adjust your stops and limits for your open trades over the weekend. Happy Friday!
