yes will be interesting to see the how the pair react to the annoucement. The unit has been on a down hill after early rebound failed at the 0.8500 down trend line resistance. THe pair is going to ease towards the 0.8220-40 regions.... as long as close resistance holds at the 0.8500...

Some are starting to mention a rate cut by the RBA later this year. Just talk. But what we're sure of is that NO RBA hike tomorrow.

But Baltic dry is up... apparently however not because of increased traffic but only because one category rates went up, of the largest ships. I wonder if these are used as storage for ore and such?
I have a strong gut feeling we might see a speculative bounce up in commodities followed by a steep drop as the China bubble is about to go bust soon. So I will monitor the aussie closely to find a cheaper short entry

Just reading Aussie banks sitting on AUD 520 bln off balance sheet risks....something like subprime loans? RBA made a guess 10% of off balance is already non performing. The idea of legal balance sheet intransparency of course calls for intransparent bank stress tests.
Could be Aussie recovers a bit more but then I'll short aussie again vs JPY and USD. The choices of safe paper currencies thin out which will be eventually left?

It seems that the rumours of the Aussie's demise were greatly exaggerated.

"Frantic selling abates as euro rises

By Jamie Chisholm, Global Markets Commentator

Published: May 21 2010 07:43 | Last updated: May 21 2010 10:57

Friday 10:45 BST. European stock markets are suffering more selling, although signs are emerging that the recent frantic flight from risk that culminated in a 4 per cent tumble for Wall Street overnight is starting to abate.

The FTSE All-World equity index is up 0.1 per cent and commodities are rallying as bargain hunters gamble that the recent financial turmoil, and fiscal troubles in the eurozone, will not derail global growth.

The euro soared in Asian trading though it has now given up a big chunk of that advance on hopes the German parliament will vote through the Greek bail-out package, forcing short positions to be covered following weeks of heavy selling.

Meanwhile, one of the markets best gauges of investor risk appetite, the Aussie dollar, is bouncing sharply after taking the kind of battering in the past week normally reserved for the nations Twenty20 cricket team."


So, do we think risk appetite is really coming back, and where is the Aussie heading now?

Does the AUD/USD weakening means the end of the long down trend in EUR/AUD? The EUR/AUD has rallied up 650 pips today, breaking both the 20 and 50 daily MA. Or is the EUR/USD going to weaken ever more than AUD/USD so the down trend in EUR/AUD can continue?

aussie paused on the slide around 2pm and has now accelerated.
