AUDNZD Looking for a Turn - Audnzdfeb2010 (Chart 1)

AUDNZD is known as the battle of the FX high yielders, but the higher yielding Aussie is likely to lose more ground. Heres a follow-up on last nights initial bearish call. With Aussie rates at 3.75% and their NZ counterpart

at 2.50%, AUDNZD exchange rate is said to be the high yielding pair, which makes it vulnerable to negative currents during reduced risk appetite. Fundamentally, the Reserve Bank of Australia is scheduled to vote on interest rates next Tuesday and is expected to raise rates by 25 bps to 4.00%. The RBA raised in all but one of its last 4 meetings. Considering the reasons for which the RBA it held rates steady at the February meeting (Chinese tightening and renewed risk of global risk aversion), the RBA continues to face these same forces, thereby, may be expected to keep rates unchanged. A decision to hold rates steady would be negative for AUD as it would signal a longer term pause by the central bank after having raised rates by 75 bpsmore than any other central bank in the world. But a decision to raise rates could also be negative for the Aussie if it is accompanied with a statement indicating a peak in rates.

AUDNZD already formed a bearish top this week at 11-month high of 1.2927 before falling down to 1.2832. Considering the negative divergence in the stochastics (falling stochastics despite rising price), we expect further declines to extent to wards a preliminary target of 1.2760 next week followed by 1.26. Any upside is seen limited at 1.2945.

Desi, Racska, extended decline in AUDNZD testing 38% retracement may mean that 0.9260 trend line resistance in AUDUSD would fail. See weekly chart

Hi Ashraf,

I can see at a least a triple MACD-divergence on AUD/USD - 4-hour chart. Its also overbought on the daily and on the weekly chart. I know it broke above 0.9080 last week. But will it start turning downwards sometime soon?

Kind regards,

Raczka

Hi Ashraf

Would you say that its time to exit should it push past 1.31 if there is no rate hike and disappointing us retail sales ?
