AUD/USD firm around 0.7020s ahead of Aussie’s CPI – Crypto News
- A higher-than-expected Consumer Price Index (CPI) in Australia could offer a chance to break above 0.7100.
- The US calendar will feature S&P Global PMIs on Tuesday and GDP on Wednesday.
- AUD/USD: Failure to gain traction above 0.7050 will expose the pair to sellers; otherwise, a 0.7100 test is on the cards.
The Australian Dollar (AUD) climbs sharply against the US Dollar (USD) even though the greenback is posting minimal gains, spurred by risk appetite improvement. Also, Australia’s inflation report on Wednesday could trigger a reaction by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). At the time of writing, the AUD/USD is trading at 0.7025.
AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7000 despite a bid by the US Dollar
The AUD/USD has extended us gains, though slightly capped by the buck. The US Dollar Index (DXY), a gauge of the buck’s value against six peers, is gaining 0.13%, at 102.124, underpinned by rising US Treasury bond yields. The 10-year benchmark note rate advances three and a half bps at 3.521%.
Following the Wall Street opening, the Conference Board (CB) reported its Leading Economic Index (LEI), which dropped for the tenth month in December. The US LEI fell sharply again in December—continuing to signal recession for the US economy in the near term,” he said. Ataman Ozyildirim, Senior Director, Economics, at The Conference Board. “There was widespread weakness among leading Indicators in December, indicating deteriorating conditions for labor markets, manufacturing, housing construction, and financial markets in the months ahead.”
In the meantime, money market futures expect the Federal Reserve (Fed) to hike the 25 bps rate hikes at the February 1 meeting, leaving the Federal Funds rate (FFR) at 4.50-4.75%.
Elsewhere, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is expected to hike rates by 25 bps, the cash rate on February 7 to 3.35%. Markets had priced in an 80% chance for the RBA lifting rates, and the cash rate is seen peaking at 3.55%-3.60%.
In the meantime, Wednesday’s release of the Australian Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the fourth quarter is expected to rise 1.5% QoQ and 7.4% YoY. According to Westpac analysts, that should be the cycle peak for inflation. A softer reading would send the AUD/USD diving below 0.7000; otherwise, it could open the door for further upside and test the 0.7100 mark.
On the US front, its calendar will feature the S&P Global PMIs, ahead of Wednesday’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the fourth quarter and the entire year of 2022.
AUD/USD Technical Analysis
Although the AUD/USD extended its gains above the 0.7000 figure, the YTD high of 0.7063 remains intact, with sellers stepping in around the 0.7050 area and lowering prices. Failure to gain traction above 0.7063 has kept the AUD/USD from testing the August 11 swing high of 0.7136 and sent the pair diving beneath the 0.7000 mark. Break below the latter would expose the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 0.6889.
