The Australian Dollar (AUD) 2 week run higher against the Euro (EUR) seems to have come to an end bouncing out of the bull trend from the low at 0.6100 (1.6400) to 0.6200 (1.6130) into Tuesday. Chart patterns are suggesting the recent run up has been exhausted with signals suggesting a move higher by the AUD is most likely if the cross can stay above 0.6185 (1.6170). Aussie CPI y/y prints tomorrow with a result expected to show a rise to recent inflation to 3.8% y/y from 3.6% possibly giving further upside bias to the AUD.

Current Level: 1.6136
Resistance: 1.6200

The Australian Dollar (AUD) retested the 5-week high at 0.5280 (1.8940) off the open against the British Pound (GBP) but has since surrendered giving back gains to 0.5245 (1.9070) this morning. The Pound initially coming under pressure from a dovish leaving Bank of England and softer UK PMI read. Risk off flow could see the Aussie get pushed lower this week, however Australian CPI could have the opposite effect. Markets are expecting May Inflation y/y to come in higher than the current 3.6% at 3.8%. This would be quite remarkable given the RBA are the only mainstream central bank still considering hikes.

The New Zealand Dollar (NZD) traded back to the top of the recent range Monday to 0.4850 (2.0610) against the British Pound (GBP) before falling on risk flows Tuesday to 0.4830 (2.0710). The kiwi is still well above the moving average game line with bias to the downside. US Equities are trading at the bottom of the recent range with the Nasdaq down over 1% overnight also pulling on the NZD. Nuda on the calendar this week and a NZ holiday Friday should keep the cross reasonably unmoved.

US Equities have slumped causing fresh “risk off flows” of late- the Australian Dollar (AUD) faring better than the New Zealand Dollar (NZD) last week reaching 0.9180 (1.0890) and looking well supported into Tuesday trading. Australian Inflation prints tomorrow for May y/y with investors expecting a rise from 3.6% to 3.8% y/y. Currently however the cross sits at the 50% fib level of the recent long-term low at 0.9065 (1.1030) and high of 0.9330 (1.0720). If the AUD can breakout past this zone the next target would be 0.9130 (1.0950)

Retesting the 50 day Moving Average at 0.6140 last night the pair fell back into Tuesday to 0.6120 as I write. On the calendar this week is key final US GDP predicted to print at 1.4% q/q in line with forecasts. Matariki Day NZ Holiday Friday could see a slow finish to the week.
