Ilos, of course the RBA does NOT want the AUD to necessarily become stronger, indeed they sometimes sell A$ to keep the price low.

Why does the RBA want the AUD so strong? Surely it cannot all be about mining? House prices seem to be forming a bubble in Sydney how long before the Aussies go the way of the US/UK with a housing collapse?

@chloe-as of now, USDCAD has fought its way back over the 1.03 handle even without a pullback in gold, eur, aud, gbp. Well at least AUDNZD has stopped going up, at least for a few hours, lol.

What happened to "buy the rumor, sell news"?

BofC has a longstanding commitment to no interest rate increase before the end of the 2nd quarter. With the US on hold on interest rates, most likely for the remainder of 2010, even a 1/4 pt. increase by BofC in July may push $Cdn to parity.
