After closing the week on a high the Australian Dollar (AUD) has given back gains into Tuesday trading around the 0.5140 (1.9450) area against the British Pound (GBP). The Pound has had the help of Industrial Production and Manufacturing prints both releasing above expectation. UK GDP m/m for August also came in at 0.2% meeting predictions after two months of stagnation. Data this week comes in the form of UK inflation with markets expecting a 0.3% fall off 2.2% y/y. Anything north of this could spell trouble for the inflation cautious Bank of England. With stimulus measures in China looking better we believe the AUD could pick up points this week and retest 0.5170 (1.9340)
Current Level: 0.5148
Support: 0.5110
Resistance: 0.5180
Last week’s range: 0.5132- 0.5197
