AUSSIE: Friday's The broader risk-on theme spilled over through European dealing
before AUD/USD topped out at 5-week highs of $0.7259, with the pair closing
sub-$0.7200 as the USD benefitted from a strong domestic labour market report,
while U.S. advisor Kudlow played down any movement in U.S.-China trade talks. A
negative session for Wall St. also applied additional pressure, taking some
shine off of the pair's recent run from YtD lows.
- Bulls look for a close above $0.7200 to build on recent momentum and target
the 100-DMA & 23.6% of the 2018 range at $0.7269/84. Bears need to see a close
below the 50-DMA at $0.7166 to shift the outlook back to neutral, while a break
of the Oct 26 low at $0.7021 is needed for them to regain control.
- AU focus this week falls on tomorrow's RBA MonPol decision & Friday's
Statement on Monetary Policy.
