The Australian Dollar (AUD), British Pound (GBP) entered Tuesday around the weekly opening level of 0.5030 (1.9880) after flatlining mid last week. The Aussie still looks to be struggling post ongoing Chinese economic fears and a higher UK inflation read. Precious metal prices also have the AUD on the backfoot along with a disappointing wage report. This week’s UK manufacturing Wednesday is predicted to come in light which may give the Aussie investors more to cheer about.

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.

The New Zealand Dollar (NZD) showed signs early in the week of recovering off recent lows but instead carried on its downside path into Tuesday booking a new low of 0.4635 (2.1580) against the British Pound (GBP). It’s hard to see much change this week in a light calendar of data with only UK manufacturing printing Wednesday. Recent higher inflation reads should ensure the kiwi stays out of favour.
