  • The AUD/NZD closed 0.08% lower at 1.0914 on Friday, the currency traded sideway heading into the end of the week and stuck between the 50 & 100-day EMA to the upside, and 20 & 200-day EMA to the down side
  • Focus will turn to RBA meeting tomorrow, where they are expected to keep rates on hold at 4.35%. Today we have Judo Bank PMI data, although this is not expected to move prices.

  • RBA dated OIS pricing has cooled following the strong employment data on Thursday, with 17bps of cuts priced into year-end or about a 50% chance of a cut. The first cut is still expected in February with 36bps currently priced and 4 cuts into July next year.
  • The AU-NZ 2yr swap spread is little changed on Friday at 5.5bps, holding near the highs since mid-August.
