The aussie has hit a new low for the year today as the risk-off environment pervades the market once more. With commodities struggling, led by a near 20% decline in iron ore prices this month, there has also been little support from Treasury bond yields either, which have fallen to multi-week lows. Tariff tensions are front and centre for […]

It’s almost as if President Trump was tempting fate when he tweeted “great news”” about the rebound in the US stock market. Or perhaps he was beckoning Wall Street to have another stab at driving markets lower. Within 24hrs of congratulating the third best single-day gain for DJI, US markets are on the back ropes again […]

After noting the US dollar index was showing signs of compression last week, we’ve been on the lookout for volatility to broadly hit the USD since. And with WTI testing highs, Euro breaking out of compression and money flowing out of safe-haven currencies, we suspect the next phase of volatility is underway for markets. Since Thursday’s […]

[…]

Friday’s break above 1.80 takes GBP/AUD to its’ highest level since the days following Brexit.

As seen on the weekly chart, its’ trajectory was relatively shallow when compared with the decline from the 2014 highs. In addition, two bearish divergences were seen between Dec ’16 and Sep ’17 which preceded […]
