GBP Getting Best of Down Under
GBPAUD reflects contrasting expectations for the RBA and BoE, with the former expected to keep rates on hold due to softer than expected inflation and the latter seeing better reasons to listen to its hawkish members. Today marked the first time since July 2009 where GBP does NOT fall following Mervyn Kings testimony. With AUDUSD quickly FALLING back below its 200-day MA and GBPUSD RISING above its 200-day MA for the first time since Jan, the preferred play is favouring GBPAUD, especially that any GBPUSD longs from here may face resistance in the event of any sharp risk aversion. Since we know that AUD is the reliable victim of risk aversion, it is best to sell it vs. a currency whose fundamentals are neutral-to-positive. Having simultaneously broken above 200-day and 55-day MA today, GBPAUD eyes interim target at 1.7580s, followed by 1.77. While my bias remains firmly in favour of EURAUD, GBPAUD is an attractive alternative considering my negative positioning on EURGB. A a break below 1.72s merits scrutiny from the longs, while a close below 1.6980s is a red flag.

anyone agree ?
Any views as ever greatly appreciated.
trying to keep posts concise always leaves the door open to lost in translation.
but remember the snap elections are tomorrow maybe thats whats caused the currency swing as julia gillard is planning her re-election, if she does win it looks like she'll be looking at tightening the fiscal budget after massive spending too. anyone???
