AUD powers ahead on strong employment data

The Australian dollar is the strongest major of the session on the back of its job figures, whilst the yen is the weakest as yield differentials continue to drive currency trends. The US dollar continued to march higher in the Asian session following a stronger than expected inflation report in the US, which saw USD/JPY hit its highest level since September 1998.

The Australian employment situation goes from strength to strength, with unemployment falling to a 48-year low of 3.5%, 88.4k jobs added (30k expected – 52.9k of which was full-time work and the participation rate hitting a record high.

German PPI data at 07:00 BST

German wholesale prices are released at 16:00. But with it rising 22.9% in May, would it really change much if it rose to 25% in June when with economic sentient in the gutter as consumer prices continue to rise. Still, traders will continue to assess the rate of change – and it provides another ‘fear input’ for economists with US inflation continuing to surprise to the upside.

 

EUR/AUD 1-day chart:

With economic data between Australia and Europe continuing to diverge, EUR/AUD might be about to extend its downside move. The cross found a top at the beginning of July with a 2-bar bearish reversal around the 200-day eMA. Bearish momentum accelerated, prices then consolidated – and now momentum is pointing lower again. Assuming the corrective high was around 1.5400 then it could be headed bac for the lows around 1.4400. The bias remains bearish below 1.5000, with a break beneath 1.4760 bringing the 1.4600 handle into focus.
