FXStreet (Guatemala) – AUD/USD was doing slightly better with commodities recovering a little with slightly better risk tone in London that passed on to the US shift with S&P futures up nearly 1%. At the same time, net AUD shorts have dropped for the fourth consecutive week on perceptions that the RBA may be reluctant to cut rates further.
We are into holiday season so although there has been a little bit of activity this should fade into dull trading as we approach the close of the week with desks out celebrating and positioning wrapped up for the year. Coming back to desks will be the anticipation of the Fed and RBA’s next port of call in trying to anticipate the global economy and preempt the best course of action.
Last Friday, FXStreet hosted a special event about what 2016 might hold for the Forex traders. The panelists were Ashraf Laidi, Boris Schlossberg, Adam Button and Valeria Bednarik. Today, we want to share with you the recording of the whole show. Watch now and look out for AUD/USD as a buy above 0.7000 while, on the other hand, can the Aussie jobs data be trusted and has Australia simply not seen or felt the worst of the headwinds from China?
