The 2024 average rate in the AUD/EUR cross is 0.6100.

A head and shoulder chart pattern has emerged on the Euro (EUR), Australian Dollar (AUD) cross implying further weakness in the Aussie should retest the 0.6025 (1.6600)  level before going on to consider 0.6015 (1.6630). Although the ECB made comment they need to reconsider “restrictive” policy the EUR has been firmly in charge. The Aussie has been hampered by further talk around a trade war between the US and China signalling a potential hit on Australian exports. Also of note is rhetoric with the RBA cutting from February.

The 2024 average rate in the AUD/GBP cross is 0.5171.

It will be a dovish leaning Bank of England (BoE) when they meet on Friday morning with expectations of a hold at 4.75%, this may keep the Pound well supported at least in the short term against the Australian Dollar (AUD). The cross has traded into Wednesday at a 2024 low of 0.4985 (2.0060) surpassing the Aug 2023 low of 0.5010 (1.9970). There is growing consensus that the RBA will start cutting rates from next February, we expect 50 points with a decline in recent consumer confidence and pending US/China tariff woes.

The 2024 average rate in the NZD/EUR cross is 0.5596.

The New Zealand Dollar (NZD) sits at the August low of 0.5490 (1.8220) against the Euro extending lows over the past couple of weeks. The has been tracking lower against some of the major currencies this week but not the kiwi. ECB’s Lagarde made mention that the ECB’s outlook on restrictive policy is no longer aligned with their changing landscape with inflation and risk balancing. Incoming data will dictate the speed of changing policy ahead. NZ GDP prints tomorrow and should formally take NZ back into recession with an expected growth in the 3rd quarter at -0.2%. We are expecting a push towards 0.5445 (1.8370)

With the Australian Dollar (AUD) underperforming over the week partly due to prospects of a US/China trade war the New Zealand Dollar (NZD) has clawed back gains to 0.9090 (1.1000) this morning. NZ Current Account third quarter came in light and tomorrow’s GDP 3rd quarter is likely to show a contraction of -0.2% putting the economy back into recession. This doesn’t bode well for the NZD with a looming 50/75 point cut in February prices in the pair look way overvalued above 0.9000.
