- Also today, Australia will see the release of its Q4 BoP c/a balance & net
exports of GDP. Domestic Q4 GDP is due Wednesday, as is a press conference with
RBA Gov Lowe, while retail sales & trade balance will hit on Thursday.
- The rate added 13 pips Monday, although it gradually ebbed off of highs noted
around the Asia-Pacific open, as the impact of WSJ & BBG reports suggesting that
the U.S. and China are close to signing a trade deal gradually faded.
- Bears look to $0.7070, which represents the cloud top & the Feb 21 low. The
next layer of support below is located at the 1.0% 10-DMA envelope at $0.7059.
Conversely, bulls look for a break above the 100-HMA at $0.7114, followed by the
200-HMA, situated at $0.7127.
- Outside Australia, China's annual 2 sessions & Chinese Caixin services &
composite PMIs will also provide some interest.
