All eyes will be focused on this coming weeks RBA, interest rate decision. They are expected to hold rates unchanged, but the associated commentary will be closely watched. Warnings of hotter inflation, will spook markets, especially considering the discount with which the environment Australian interest rates are operating in.

NZD/USD Transfer

The NZD/USD has been subject to the machinations of the reserve currency, the US Dollar. The Jackson Hole Symposium, closing out last week, shed no new light on monetary policy. Fed Chairman Powell continued to warn of high inflation and further possible interest rate rises. Par for the course. PCE readings of inflation this week, confirmed it remained stubbornly high, increasing the risk of further rate rises. The NZD has plunged all the way back to 0.5900 and looks likely to remain under pressure, while the USD is supported by rising interest rates.

Current Level: .5962
Support: .5900
Resistance: .5990
Last week’s range: .5900 – .5980

AUD/USD Transfer

The Australian Dollar (AUD) held firm around the 0.6425 area post the open against the USD Dollar (USD) Monday as equity markets traded positive. It’s hard to know if we will see a reversal of sorts this week and a push higher, but with improved sentiment in China after an improved May manufacturing PMI read who knows. Australian Retail Sales came in hot at 0.5% in July after a poor June release surprising analysts as shoppers came out during the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Despite this the RBA is still likely to raise rates at the September 5 meeting. Looking ahead we have US Non-Farm Payroll Friday which will add volatility to the mix.

Australian Retail Sales surprised at 0.5% vs 0.2% expected in July and up from -0.8% in June. Food and FIFA Women’s World Cup to blame for the unexpected rise in spending.

EURO/NZD Transfer

Early week moves in the Euro (EUR), New Zealand Dollar (NZD) to 0.5465 (1.8300) from the weekly at 0.5480 (1.8250) had the kiwi immediately on the backfoot in a thin week of economic Data. I’m not sure we will see a retest of the low at 0.5425 (1.8430) but we could get close if German prelim CPI y/y comes in below expectations tomorrow. With hikes on the horizon for the Eurozone a poor read could certainly pressure the ECB to tighten policy further at their Sep 15 meeting, this in turn won’t be inspiring for the kiwi.
