EURO/AUD Transfer

The Euro (EUR) has performed poorly this week against most main board currencies and has slumped against the Australian Dollar (AUD) to 0.6140 (1.6280) Wednesday before retracing moves back to 0.6125 (1.6330) in early morning. The RBA held interest rates at 4.35% Tuesday siting upside risks to inflation with messy govt electricity subsidies and automotive fuel prices influencing policy. We predict prices to retest the 0.6200 (1.6150) resistance zone.

GBP/AUD Transfer

The RBA held interest rates unchanged Tuesday at 4.35% as we expected emphasising the need to remain focused on upside risks to inflation. The Australian Dollar (AUD) rising to 0.5055 (1.9780) before returning to post 0.5112 (1.9560) as US Election voting kicked in. The first rate cut for the RBA may not come until the February meeting in 2025. The RBA may wait until the 4th quarter CPI release on the 29th of January 2025 before making a decision on this. The Bank of England are widely expected to cut 25 points in the morning to 4.75% however they may signal a shallower easing cycle if new budget forecasting comes into play.

EURO/NZD Transfer

Price action in the Euro (EUR), New Zealand Dollar (NZD) cross has been dictated by US Elections results with the Euro selling off to 0.5565 (1.7970) from 0.5485 (1.8230) over the past couple of days. Markets clearly expecting a Trump presidency. NZ unemployment rose to 4.8% from 4.6% in the second quarter, employers shedding workers until cost pressures ease. This “if anything” confirming further interest rate cuts are needed with prospects now the RBNZ may cut 75 points later this month instead of 50 points.

GBP/NZD Transfer

It’s been far to “risky” a week with all that’s been going on for the New Zealand Dollar (NZD) to gain any real momentum. The kiwi slipping lower from 2.1590 to 2.1770 amid US election action over the past day or so against the British Pound (GBP). NZ unemployment ticked up from 4.6% to 4.8% in the second quarter but lower than forecast of 5.00%, annual wage inflation slowing for the 6th straight month. Unemployment is expected to continue rising giving support to much further interest rate cuts by the RBNZ. Attention now lies with Friday mornings Bank of England (BoE) cash rate with a 25-point cut to 4.75% predicted.

AUD/NZD Transfer

With all the currency heat going on amid US elections we have seen the Australian Dollar (AUD), New Zealand Dollar (NZD) cross trade within recent ranges. The Aussie getting a little more bids this week extending off last week’s moves from 0.9090 (1.1000) to 0.9040 (1.1065) this morning. Early week the RBA held their interest rate at 4.35% saying upside risk to inflation remains. Last week’s inflation drop from 3.8% to 2.8% y/y is still too high. Unemployment in NZ rose from 4.6% to 4.8% for the second quarter slightly less than the 5.00% forecast. Third quarter employment participation numbers are predicted to fall further putting stress on high interest rates. Support at 0.9000 (1.1110) may not hold till xmas.

NZD/USD Transfer

The New Zealand Dollar (NZD) slumped off 0.6000 numbers to post 0.5910 against the surging US Dollar (USD) overnight as US elections came in. The greenback made big moves across the main board as news of a new Trump led government became reality. The Republican party has gained enough support in both the US Senate and US Congress, this making it easier for the new president to implement “Dollar” positive economic plans such as lower taxes and tariffs. His policies will most likely lead to increased spending impacting inflation. Tomorrow morning’s Fed meeting markets have priced in a 25-point cut to 4.75% but past this point cuts look shady. Long term support in the cross still sits at 0.5850 the lows from late July and mid-April, we pick a retest of this zone in the coming weeks.

Current Level: 0.5942
Support: 0.5850
Resistance: 0.6200
Last week’s range: 1.6300 – 1.6598
