AUDUSD weakened in the Asian trading session on Wednesday to fall to the level of 0.7051, the lowest level since January 4 after Australia released data on fourth quarter GDP in 2018 which grew below estimates.

Data released by the Australian statistics bureau showed that the economy grew 0.2% at the quarterly level in the fourth quarter, not reaching estimates for growth of 0.5% and lower than the previous period for growth of 0.3%. Meanwhile for the annual rate, the Australian economy only grew 2.3% in the fourth quarter, lower than the estimate for 2.5% growth, previously growing at 2.8%.

The below-estimated release of GDP data has validated the latest decision from the RBA to reduce predictions that the next interest rate move will likely rise.

AUSSIE DISAPPEARED AFTER MANUFACTURING ACTIVITIES DECREASED


AUDUSD weakened after the Australian flash manufacturing PMI in March fell to 52.0 vs 52.9 the previous month. The return of safe-haven sentiments related to North Korea also weighed on the Aussie.

At writing, AUDUSD is trading at 0.7104, down 5 pips from the close of the New York session last night.

A new wave of risk aversion is gripping the Asian market amid the latest US-North Korea problems. The US tightened sanctions to North Korea after the failed Trump-Kim Jong un agreement in Vietnam. Two Chinese companies are penalized for doing business with North Korea.

While other news that boosted safe-haven sentiment was China reportedly wearing an anti-dumping policy on several products from the European Union (EU), Japan, South Korea and Indonesia, causing higher yields on US Treasury.

The Australian and New Zealand dollars also traded higher because the price of gold moved up. There are also reports from China that trade agreements can be reached in the third or fourth week of May. This is an important week for the New Zealand dollar but before the New Zealand Central Bank monetary policy announcement is made, we get the latest outlook on the country's trading activity. Last month, the country reported the biggest trade deficit in more than 12 years so a narrower balance was expected even though the PMI showed ongoing weakness in the manufacturing sector.

AUDUSD STRENGTHS TO 0.7121 INCREASING CHINA MANUFACTURING ACTIVITIES RESPONSE


A surprise increase in Chinese factory activity supported the yuan and Australian dollar on Monday, and provided a broader boost for global investor confidence, helping the dollar strengthen against the safe-haven yen.

Factory activity in China unexpectedly grew for the first time in four months in March, an official survey showed on Sunday, a sign that the government's stimulus might begin to hold the second largest economy in the world.

China's Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose to 50.5 in March from a three-year low in February at 49.2, beating the median estimate of economists at 49.5.

That boosted the Australian dollar, often seen as a proxy for investment in China's economic outlook, up 0, 39 percent or 28 pips to $ 0.7121.

Ayako Sera, market economist at Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, suspects that the stimulus policy from the Beijing government is effective in overcoming China's economic downturn.

The AUDUSD pair traded higher on Wednesday (04/17/2019) responding to China's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data which exceeded analyst estimates. The stretching Chinese economy has raised optimism that the economic slowdown has come to an end.

At time of writing, AUDUSD is trading up 0.30 percent or 22 pips to 0.7194.

China's economic growth data which reached 6.4 percent during the first quarter compared to the same quarter last year exceeded the estimates of economists surveyed at 6.3 percent and the same as the previous period's data.

The Aussie as a proxy for China's economy has had a positive impact from China's economic growth which imports metal raw materials from Australia.

Copper prices for the three-month delivery contract on the London Metal Exchange closed up 0.3 percent to USD6,415 per ton, Reuters reported Wednesday (1/5) early morning hrs.

The metal used in the electricity and construction sector surged about eight percent this year, with hopes that China could prevent a sharp economic slowdown, even though prices were trapped in around USD6,500 since the end of February

AUDUSD has the potential to move down to test the support level 0.6950 - 0.6930 because of the potential for a further dollar increase as US labor data released is more positive. AUDUSD support is in the range of 0.7000 - 0.7030.

AUDUSD has a chance to move down in the short term if the Chinese economic data is released more pessimistic than the estimate to test the support at 0.6990 - 0.6940. However, if the released data is optimistic it's likely to push AUDUSD up to target resistance at 0.7050 - 0.7100 amid the weakening US dollar sentiment.

AUDUSD has settled at its lowest level since June 21, and maintains a strong bearish stance, according to technical readings on the daily chart, because it is now developing below all its moving averages, and with 20 DMA gaining strength below a larger DMA. The Momentum indicator heads lower below the 100 level, while the RSI accelerates its slump, heading sharply south around 39. In the 4-hour chart, the 20 SMA crosses below a larger SMA, maintaining a strong bearish slope, while the technical indicators have stabilized on extreme oversold levels, more reflecting the lack of volume on weekends than showing fatigue down. A break below 0.6880, immediate support, will anticipate a further decline towards the 0.6820 price zone.

AUDUSD has the opportunity to move to continue the decline in the short term to test the support level at 0.6830 - 0.6800 due to pressure from waning optimism about the US-China trade agreement. AUDUSD resistance is in the range 0.6880 - 0.6900.

Today the news that needs to be considered relating to the movement of the AUDUSD is the Building Permits data in Australia in November 2019. For November 2019 it is estimated that the number of building permits will increase by 2.1%. Results released higher than expected will tend to cause AUDUSD to strengthen.

Today there will be news of Australia's trade balance data for November 2019 which will affect AUDUSD. For November 2019 it is estimated that Australian trade will return a surplus of AUD 4.10 billion. A surplus that is higher than expected will tend to cause AUD to strengthen.
