AUSSIE
AUSSIE: AUD remains top of the G10 pile after the RBA failed to allude to a more
neutral view on MonPol and left its cash rate unchanged. AUDUSD gained +50 pips
to extended react highs of $0.7265 with topside focus on the 200-dma at $0.7289,
a level not closed above since March. The $0.73 area should provide further
resistance which also holds the ytd Jan 31 high. AUDJPY improved to fresh ytd
highs of Y79.84, a break of the key Y80 level opens the 100-dma at Y80.23 ahead
of the 76.4% retracement level at Y80.87. EURAUD moved through the 200-dma
(A$1.5854) to extended pullback lows of A$1.5737, next support at A$1.5697 from
the 76.4% fibo of A$1.5347-1.6830. AUDNZD recovered the NZ$1.05 level to
NZ$1.0530, opening the 50 & 55-dma's at NZ$1.0536/46. AUDCAD cleared the 100-dma
(C$0.9479) to C$0.9520 with bulls targeting a break of the 200-dma & Jan 31 high
at C$0.9568/80. While AUDCHF cleared the 200-dma & 38.2 retracement level to
Chf0.7253, as highlighted in our MNI analysis email yesterday (AUDCHF -
Approaching Key Resistance - 1236GMT). One thing to note on the seasonality
charts is AUDUSD has registered gains in February, 14 of the last 17 years and
could prove supportive for the AUD complex.
