AUD/USD remains a buy-on-dips opportunity for the week ahead – Westpac
FXStreet (Barcelona) - According to Westpac, with markets paring back on pricing rate cuts by the RBA and US data expected to disappoint again, AUD/USD might find buyers on dips.
Key Quotes
“Governor Stevens told his audience in NY that the question of another rate cut “has to be on the table”. He also argued that further AUD decline is “very likely”, albeit “over time”. Yet after sliding on his speech, AUD/USD bounced hard on the barely above consensus inflation data.”
“Having spent much of this year pricing in more than 50bp worth of further RBA cash rate cuts, markets are now toying with <40bp.”
“The empty local calendar in the week ahead will only add to nervousness over the May decision but should at least help AUD/USD find buyers on dips, especially in a week where US data could disappoint again.”
