Australian dollar under fire

Central banks are not to be envied in this cycle of monetary tightening! They have to choose between suppressing the highest inflation in decades and the danger of plunging their own economies into recession. What could be more difficult? Political pressure! The head of the Reserve Bank of Australia has faced unprecedented criticism for high rates. He is accused of intent to cause a recession and advised to choose his words when talking about continuing the cycle of monetary restriction.

It is understandable that politicians are not happy with the high cost of borrowing, which limits credit, slows economic growth and creates problems in the labor market. Thus, in January, unemployment in Australia rose to an 8-month high of 3.7%, employers laid off 11,000 people, and the January figure was revised downward to -20,000. When justifying previous cash rate hikes, the RBA figured the strength of the labor market, but if scars from tighter monetary policy begin to appear, shouldn't the process be put on hold?

In fact, one report is unlikely to change the regulator's outlook. The central bank is doing the right thing, because Australian inflation is not slowing down. Under these conditions, it is necessary to continue the monetary restriction cycle. Yes, there is political pressure on Philip Lowe, but it can hardly be compared to Donald Trump's pressure on Jerome Powell. At one time, the former U.S. president called the Fed chairman America's enemy for his unwillingness to lower the federal funds rate.

The central bank's independence is the key to continued monetary tightening, which is bullish for the AUDUSD. However, the main growth driver for the pair is the events in the global economy in general and China in particular.

Another liquidity injection by the People's Bank of China (PBoC) into the banking system worth 632 billion yuan indicates that the recovery of the Chinese economy after the lifting of the COVID restrictions is in full swing. Yes, the PBoC did not reduce key rates, but the local authorities have already done so for it, which in a directive order, obliged commercial banks to reduce mortgage rates. In fact, the PBoC should be thankful because monetary policy divergence could lead to a serious weakening of the yuan and capital outflows.

It is crucial for Australia and its currency that its major trading partner gets better and is ready to provide half of the global GDP growth in 2023. The faster this process goes, the better for the AUDUSD bulls.

Technically, a Wolfe wave reversal pattern formed on the daily chart of the analyzed pair. Its target is located near the level of 0.705. The formation of the pin bar with the long lower shadow is the evidence that the AUDUSD has found the bottom. As long as the Aussie is above $0.6886, it should be bought.

市場已無路可逃

當唐納德·特朗普和北京仍在試圖弄清楚美中貿易談判是否真正進行時,S&P 500 指數已連續第三天上升,這次得益於美聯儲的鴿派言論。FOMC 成員克里斯多夫·沃勒建議,關稅只會導致暫時的物價上升,美聯儲應該忽視這一點。

美元上漲——原因在此

有報導指出,中國政府正在考慮暫停對某些美國進口商品徵收的 125% 關稅後,美元對多種全球貨幣的匯率上升,美國股市也因此走強。此舉似乎是對特朗普總統近期評論的回應,他表示正在考慮降低對中國的部分貿易關稅。

為何黃金價格可能大幅下跌?(黃金價格可能會持續走低,而NASDAQ 100 指數期貨的差價合約可能上漲)

正式談判的開始可能導致近期金價大幅下跌。 在之前的文章中,我曾建議,由於北京和華盛頓之間就關稅問題展開的談判,之前飆升的金價可能會出現重大修正。
