Yes maybe the market wants to touch 1.10 if it makes it feel better! The fundamentals dont justify aussie being now some 40% overvalued on ppp terms (according to bloomberg), more than any other currency. At some point it will hurt the balance of trade, and cause non-resource industries to lack competitiveness if they already aren't. I find it ironic that aussie politicians find it amusing and possibly relish the strength in the aussie, and they havent jawboned yet.

Good time to short AUDUSD @ 1.0840 tp 1.0550. Every conceivable good news is being priced it at this moment, unless the market wants to reprice any little positive a few times over! With the CAD this hasnt happened even with stronger than expected CPI, so its indicating that speculation is at extremes in AUD!

jacek, for ZB (30yrbonds) we had a low at 116'26 on the 9th Feb. From there nice 3 wave corrective up to make exact 100% sym at 123'22. I shorted at 121'20 and watched a rather passive 5 wave move down to 117'28 where I took half off at 118'20. Since then the expected correction back up has gone rather higher than I would like. My remaining stop now at b/e.

10yr yields made the exact same inverted pattern with the low made at 127.2% sym ext c.3.16.

I trade bonds only when I see a real nice set-up, well that applies to pretty much everything. I monitor c.68 vehicles (symbols) looking for decent set-ups.

Dave what's your take on 30yrBonds?.. do you trade curves?.. I use bonds for yen a little bit.. anyway if cad gives up 95 here I am out.. I'm long in other com FX though so might have rebalance again..
