I wanted to get group feedback on my naive view on AUD/USD for today/tomorrow.

We are so close to the upcoming Aust job data during the asian trading session, and would be key to see whether AUD/USD break above 93 handle, and ASX 200 above 5,000 psychological level. Perhaps simplistic, should the jobs data printed tomorrow comes extradinarily positive, it might just be enough to make it above 93. There are other attributes that might just grease the wheels, especially as we seen some recent breakdown of resistance / support levels despite stronger USD 1) Gold's breakout upwards today 2) Oil still pretty high 3) USDCAD near parity.

With the exception of last months Aust jobs data, AU jobs number has a good track record of extraordinarily better-than-expected-job-figures, so this shouldn't be a surprise. How much of this is priced-in??

Whether it holds above 93 for a day or more, I would love to get views from others on this forum.

Is this a breakout of Gold on the upside?

Ashraf did have on his twitter IMT on Chris Vermeulen's Blog on his articlehttp://www.ashraflaidi.com/forex-blogs/1250/ which points out the BULLISH on Gold.


Is the 1020/1050 Gold target invalidated or is this just noise?

Hi Ashraf, with Oil potentially headed to 89, and whether you have any new possible level beyond parity? Thank you.

@chloe - We may have to wait to see how the Fed discount rate story plays out today.

Hi Ashraf, with the NFP numbers out, where do you Oil especially after a ᢍ Friday close? Is the the downtrend is still intact? Can we also assume that the Monday Fed discount rate might drag commodities down, possibly equities also? Thank-you.

Hi Ashraf, in your recent Canada TV interview, you covered CAD/JPY saying we need to see Friday close above 90. With this week's closing over 93 much higher, do you still CADJPY possibly coming down? Thank-you.

Hi Ashraf, now that we are already hit 94 levels, as you had foretasted, do you have a view to how high USDJPY may go further? Thanks, Callum

In Thread: GBP
Ashraf mentioned in his earlier IMTs about the unlikely scenario of GBPUSD 1.53, but I won't be surprised if this holiday madness plus NFP gets everyone to eye on March's high of 1.5376. As for GBPJPY, it's already blown out daily moving average 100. The next step I guess is to wait-and-see.

In Thread: USD
Hoping to get your view on how to assess this NFP expectation, good/bad scenario, esp with commodity ccy plus EUR, GBP, in light to the reaction of the ADP??

Yesterday's ADP reaction on the USDJPY pair seemed straight forward, but I thought I saw the EURUSD and other commodities pair going higher. Is this the expected behavior for this NFP also?

@sydneyjames - I understand from Ashraf's recent TV interview and other articles that the inverse correlation between USDX and Equities is broken, ie, both can go up simultaneously. We can see this anyways in recent while, ie, DJI/SPX AND USDX making new highs post recession with EURUSD making new lows. I am also noting Ashraf's view on US equity market not falling until post summer (northern hemisphere), while, USDX upside seems more immediate. The JPY vs US Equities correlation seems much intact.
