Daily Report: Aussie Lower on Job Data and China Trade Deficit, Dollar Mildly Higher

Dollar is mildly higher in a rather active Asian session. Aussie is the weakest one so far following disappointing job data which saw unexpected -10.1k contraction in February. Prior month's job growth was also revised sharply lower to 7.7k. Initial reactions was mild as looking into the details, full-time jobs did post a sharp increase by 47.6k. Unemployment rate was unchanged at 5.0%. Another bearish factor for the Aussie is that China unexpectedly published USD -7.3b trade deficit in February.

AUD/USD Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.0066; (P) 1.0099; (R1) 1.0139; More

AUD/USD dips to 1.0034 so far today and remains soft and the pair should now test 55 days EMA (now at 1.0027). But after all, outlook remains unchanged. As discussed before, AUD/USD is still being supported by the 55 days EMA even though upside momentum has been clearly diminishing since last October, as seen in bearish divergence condition in daily MACD and RSI. The larger up trend could still continue and above 1.0200 resistance will send AUD/USD to a new high above 1.0254. However, break of 0.9943 will be the first sign of reversal and will turn outlook bearish for 0.9803 support and below.

BOE To Leave Rates Unchanged In March, Pressures Of Tightening Increased Though

The BOE will very likely leave the Bank unchanged at 1% and the asset-purchase program at 200B pound at the March meeting.

Recent rally in oil prices has increase global inflationary pressures and the ECB said last week that it may raise interest rates in April.
