Definitely , if yen starts going on real rampaging , lots of ccy's will be hurt , and NZD is one of them along, aud, eur , gbp, usd..
Could have a very nice move in front, but till i see 6740 , the nzd is still too "alive" to short...Can jump back pretty fast as it did this week..
That one can go up as fast as down, not many ccy can do this..

The big chunks of overseas investments by Japanese are by Pension funds, trust banks etc. They wil hedge if they perceive an adverse curreny movement evolving. Its when they all start moving together that you get the big moves. Probably not here yet (actually looking a tad oversold this morning) but the planets are starting to line up in my opinion.

Superficially the interest differential makes a compelling argument 7.5% for three years versus something g less than 1% in Japan. Nevertheless historically interest differentials even as large this one can be erased within a short period of time. While a retail investor may lack the professional savvy to care about stop-loss levels that is not the case with a professional. And as always when the profits have been erased and the market continues to trend lower it is impossible to pout the genie back in the bottle.
If a Japanese investor invested in NZD Uridahsis at the closing rate on 3rd Janaury, first day of the year, the exchange rate would have been 84.30, today it is 82.67 (at least when I calculated it). That equates to a loss on the principal and coupon payment receipts of 1.93%. While this is a long way from a rate that would eliminate the the profit that would earned from the interest differential over three years if that trend continued (an unlikely scenario I agree) that depreciation would be over 50% and would eliminate the difference.
When I look at this investment from another angle if that same investor invested his money on 1st July the exchange rate was 69.32. The appreciation is 21.6%, sufficient to compensate for the interest differential over the next two and half years.
Over most of the last three years the investor would have a foreign exchange gain, but as the Icelandic kronor showed last year these gains can be eliminated.
I am not saying one way or the other which it will go, but I think JPY’s change of fortunes may prove to be heavy weather for the Kiwi.
For your info – CBA agree with your view.

Thanks, great input, though why would japan investors invest in their homeland apart in stocks (which that i can understand) , but in for exemple JGB's when rates are rising (triangular swap arbitrages risks not worth it , if JGB rates rising , combined with Yen firming) , when they can get a piece of wonderful NZ , so close to homeland , with close to 8% interests (quite a change from their 0%+ JGB's)
Rates going up in Japan , is a novelty , it might change a lot on where the money is diversified to in japan...
Then again under 6790 , I'm leaving the boat.

Oil Man, I appreciate your comments regarding the currencies and applaud your accuracy on the Kiwi especially over the last few months you spotted the trend before many of us, certainly me for one.
I wonder though whether the trend in USD/JPY is going to affect future movements in those currencies that were beneficiaries of the carry trade over the last year or so, especially the Kiwi.
It was around the end of May USD/JPY began to trend upwards from 109.30. At the same time NZD/USD bottomed out at 0.5930. Since then the two pairs have trended in identical fashion.
Uridashi bonds issued since January 2005 have gone a long way to financing NZ’s current account deficit which since that date is about NZD 1 billion a month. In 2005 there was NZD 11.9 billion, 2006 NZD 8.3 billion and so far this year NZD 1.7 billion. Now since the Kiwi began to trend upwards the Uridashi’s have been on average NZD 850 million per month. This left a difference of NZD 150 million plus any foreoign loan repayments to be financed from other sources.
So then as JPY trends higher the incentive to Japanese investors to invest overseas has to diminish. This is going to occur at precisely the same time as many of the bonds issued in 2004 come to maturity. I am not going to say the Uridashi market is going to dry up overnight, that would be foolish, however, the flow is likely to be stemmed, to what degree I don’t know. Japanese investors will want a higher return to compensate for the risk to invest overseas. Most of these issues are swap driven so either the issuer or the NZ bank at the other end of the swap will need to pay a higher return. Either option is unlikely as they seek alternative forms.
I would appreciate your comments as always

Few days ago , NZD was disliked , everyone was talking of the citi recom's to short 67--68 (bottom feeder, similar to gbp right now)...Some even said , NZD is going to .6000.
Market shuffled (once 6880 was retaken was fast), and we're now at 6950 Area..
The next big shuffle at 7030(and bigger)
Still a good buy zone 6880--6925 area.
GBP is now the "black sheep" of the week , (Was NZD week before, week prior than NZD was AUD , and prior again was EURO) , so probably it might go 20/50 pips more downside followed a major upside move(on most of it's crosses).
Which is what the other ccy have done after their black sheep status got solved (it gets solved eating stops of people following the recom's of black sheeps analysts).

USDJPY.
Although appears to want to confirm a daily double top it has come back on previous weekly broken trendline which now acts as support.
The risk if short is that this support 119.25 holds and a 5th weekly wave up from 108.98 low unfolds. May be to 125.00
Below 119.20 should tempt a lot of market to try and unwind.
But short term oversold leaves doubt about the breakdown.
GBPJPY in my view has done the first healthly correction of the long rally. The structure of the correction (3-3-3-3-3 triangle) which has seen an overflow on wave 'e' today. Does not necessarily mean we're breaking down - A lot of the time 'e' seems to indicate break but only false - Wave 'e' normally should be the last.
The corrective pattern from this year high is normally indicative of bullishness to come. below 233.00 consistent would cancel the view of a strong bounce from current level. regaining 234.40 signals false break. I prefer the long side from here on.
Last 2 years rapatriation weeks have not been a big deal on Yen (200-300 pips) - worth bearing in mind.
Cable may have ended decline today just above 1.9505 Fibo - to try
upside again on a bullish case scenario. Cable did a 3-3-5 expanded flat from 1.9916 to 1.9401. This is again viewed as healthy correction in bull runs. 1.9520 which accelerated the move to 1.9677 signaled completion of 3-3-5 pattern was retested today, if holds and regains 1.9590 bulls will want to run through 1.9680/9750 area.

The Usd's broad slump has been of no benefit to [CABLE] during the day, the pair pressured into a layer of tech bids reported to be in place ahead of 1.9500 (1.9505 the 61.8% retracement of the gains off the Feb low) as the Pound suffers on the crosses. Stops have been tripped above 0.6720 in Eur/Gbp while Gbp/Jpy has slumped amid a broad based Jpy buyback and an FX bank's highlighting of the 55-day m.a. (233.94) as something of a key level for near term direction. The Short Sterling strip shows UK rate hike expectations continue to be cut back in the wake of the BoE's Jan inflation report, below f/c Jan CPI and a soft RICS HPI for Jan, suggesting a long market will continue to be pressured. The n/t target for Gbp/Jpy is 222.22 according to the bank research should the break below 233.94 be sustained, while Eur/Gbp is edging towards the late "06/early Jan 0.6740-90 highs.

USA BAY, O/S (overold) means that:
1) If you are aggressive you try a fast contra trade.
2) If you are prudent (i.e. you don't like hihj risk) you just don't sell it around current level.
3) Any levels I mention here are valid only for the day unless stated otherwise. Being dynamic and not static levels they have to be adjusted every day.

Short term view: Again the yen weakness has been the story here with gbp/jpy taking out the main support 235.50-60 and eur/jpy heading towards that goal (156.60-50) as well. ***On the majors the gbp/usd briefly broke main resistance (9590-9600) to give it back rather quickly. It is sell on failed dips for the gbp/usd pair as it stands now until the main resistance is taken out. Next key support is around the 9510-20 area for now. Mid term key support (9300.10) awaits to make this move a serious one. ***The eur/usd pair has been resilient against a big drop like the other majors but the promise for the bulls to break key resistance (3170-80) has been fading quickly with out the help of the yen cross (eur/jpy) and now prepares for a consolidation-retracement period. Support is around the 3100-10, 3050-60 and main support 3020-30 for now.***The usd/jpy has taken out the main support (120.20-30) and key support 119-119.10 awaits but with indicators in the O/S area this pair is running out of time. Mid term key resistance (118.70-60) awaits to further solidify this move IMHO. Peace and GT

Thanks Kevin. It often is the case that a soft $/JPY is seen when the USD strenthens against the other majors but we cannot say one implies the other. In the current market it could be a typical case, though, if the carry trade thing finally begind to unwind for good. I can't preclude even a new LTCM if the unwinding gets out of control...

FWIW: Range trade stategies are not recommended during current market environment. Volatility expected to increase as "lines in the sand" are redrawn. Market will become more difficult to judge liquidity @ support/ resistance (stop hunts likely). I believe the line of least resistance has been determined for both EURUSD (up) and USDCHF (down). So therefore, swimming against the tide is risky business. Good trades.

fyi. Bernanke is on Cspan3, can be streamed off the web. from the opening remarks of the various Congressman, Ben may get some pointed questons. Only one of the Reps said all is good the stock market is up. The others pointed to wealth inequality, one even pointed out that the Fed and the "working committee" were too secretive and remarked about the elimination of M3 reporting.

Thursday that net foreign purchases of U.S. assets were much less than expected in December may not signal a trend quite yet. "This data reflects increased private investors diversification away from U.S. assets, an interesting development in that most analysts worry about official diversification away from U.S. assets," T.J. Marta, fixed income strategist at RBC Capital Markets said. "Whether the data indicate a trend is unclear," however, he said, "especially given that the decline could have been driven by year-end "window dressing" by money managers."

Of all the major USD pairs the only one my model is bullish USD about is cable i.e. my favorite tactic is selling cable rallies.aiting to see how it will close against 1.9625 today. A close well under this level adds to my negative view, if above I will be cautious (but mot necessarirly bullish cable). A move above 1.9775 today (rather unlikely to see) negates my bearish view..Support 1.9520, 1.9455, 1.9400, 1.9305-15. Resistance 1.9675-90, 1.9745, 1.9775-85, 1.9830. I am out, good luck.

Still long 6790 , no change in target , albeit more strong data coming from NZD, technically need to break 6970 for 7030..
Though a consolidation phase 69//70 for a few days would be better for further gains (going too fast up makes things fall even faster at a later time).

FWIW I had been bearish Yen across the board for several weeks. I have now changed direction on both model and non model ground.
No change of view. Still favoring the Yen in all pairs. Shorty term first $/JPY O/S territory for today only under 119. A close under 119.80-85 woud add credence. Unit currently trading well outside (downside) of my model band. TC (model parameter) no longer too high but still high, hemcce ample room for further correvtion (in the worst case a flat correction). Yen crosses should crrect much better in medium/longer term. Strategy remains unchanged in all yen pairs, sell on rallies (i.e. buy JPY decent dips).

Guys if you want to work in the market you have to have an opinion. You can have different ones and different time horizons. No one is right 100% of the time (even central banks) but you can't make money by bending with every breeze that comes along. We should be happy people voice their biases and reasons. If you agree with them at the time that's great. if you just treat a forum as micro-cosm andgo against it that's great too. As the cliches go "every dog has his day", "broken clocks are right twice a day" and my particular trading mantra "parks are full of experts".
You are only competing with yourself.

MOF Watanabe:Desirable If Mkts See Risks Of One-Way FX Moves
TOKYO Japan's top financial diplomat Thursday reiterated the Group of Seven countries' position that markets participants should be aware of the risks of making one-way bets in the currency markets.
Hiroshi Watanabe, Vice Finance Minister for International Affairs, also said players should consider various risks when reacting to Japanese gross domestic product data released earlier in the day. The data showed that "consumer spending and business investments have supported fourth-quarter economic growth," he said. "As for how the markets should react to them, there is nothing more to say than what we said at the G7 meeting" held in Germany last Friday and Saturday, he said.
Japanese Minister of Finance Koji Omi said at the gathering of finance ministers and central bank governors that "market participants ought to be aware that acting in one direction could bring a risk," referring to some traders' view that yen weakness is a sure bet.
Watanabe said the markets are being a bit complacent about risks, and therefore it isn't desirable to make one-way moves without proper risk assessment.

I see the EUR/USD still has some up before the correction that is being indicated by the shorter term charts.
Consensus fundamentals for the US due out later appear not in favour of the USD.
Just looking for the price to sell, but will stay with the buy for now.

The State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) said it has approved an additional 200 mln usd quota for HSBC Investment (Hong Kong) Ltd to invest in yuan-denominated capital markets under the Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (QFII) program.
The approval brings HSBC Investment's total QFII quota to 600 mln usd.
Meanwhile, Sumitomo Mitsui Asset Management Co was also granted a 200 mln QFII quota.
According to official reports, the end of 2006 saw participants in the the QFII program holding A-shares with a market value of 97.1 bln yuan.
This means the QFII program continued as the second largest source of institutional investment for the domestic stock market, after mutual funds.
China has so far granted about 9.545 bln usd worth of quotas to 54 institutions.

Short term view gbp/usd pair: This pair has taken out the main resistance 9590-80 and has also made a good buy signal when it broke the 9640-50 area. For now the indicators are reaching the O/B level but no signs of backing down. The main resistance is now main support and until it is taken out this will be buy on failed dips. Next key resistance is the 9740-50, 9840-50 and tops 9900-10 area for now. Long, mid and short term are all bullish with a key support (9300-10 for now) for the mid term view still untested. This pair is still in a range for the year but willing to break free on the first chance it gets IMHO. Peace and GT

Case for INR carry trades builds further, says HSBC, continues to recommend short positions in both USD/INR and TWD/INR; "the Indian rupee looks poised to break out of its existing ranges and we expect the currency appreciation of the past six months to continue through 2007," says bank. Adds, "the shift in interest rates in Asia in recent months, particularly the fall in IDR rates accompanying the rise in INR rates, now implies that INR offers the most favorable trade-off of yield and volatility in the region."

EURUSD breaks through its 6 week long consolidation at 1.3070, now facing resistance at 1.3175-80—the 2 month trend line resistance. USDJPY nears the 120.50 trend support, but we expect continued BoJ dovishness to provide a floor above the 120.00 figure. GBPUSD faces hefty resistance at 1.9650—3-week trend line resistance and 50% retracement of the move from the 1.9914 high.

[STG/YEN] is down from 237.05-10 to 235.35-30 after the GDP fray this mng. Actions at the low are a bit bottomish, but downside risk would remain intact unless the cross can recover through the quick decline zone from 237.05-10 or at least the mid level of 236.40-60. The 235.35-30 level matches the previous lows marked on Feb 13 and 06, and any weakness through there and the 235.00 figure would trigger further long liquidation form Japanese private investors with high leverage contracts.

The New Zealand dollar closed higher Thursday, but shy of an intraday peak as stronger-than-expected December retail sales failed to push the unit through selling interest around US$0.6950.
Graham Parlane, associate director of foreign exchange concern Tricom, said the unit looks shaky heading into the offshore session as unexpectedly strong fourth-quarter Japanese gross domestic product data point to renewed liquidation of carry trades overnight.
Parlane said the Kiwi was "very heavy" against the Japanese yen late in New Zealand trading, which "could become a rout" later Thursday, depending on how offshore investors react to the GDP data.
He noted there is still a degree of skepticism toward carry trades given the nervousness that built up ahead of last weekend's Group of Seven meeting.
The New Zealand dollar ended at US$0.6936, above Wednesday's US$0.6907 local close, but shy of an intraday peak of US$0.6945. Against the Japanese yen it was at JPY83.34 versus its JPY83.81 open.
Parlane said standing sellers capped the Kiwi below US$0.6950 Thursday despite strong December retail sales.
Earlier Thursday, Statistics New Zealand said the volume of seasonally adjusted real retail sales increased 1.8% in the fourth quarter from the third quarter, the biggest gain since the third quarter of 2004. The number comfortably topped a 1.2% average forecast by 11 economists in a Dow Jones Newswires survey.
Parlane tipped support for the Kiwi at US$0.6910 overnight, with resistance at US$0.6950. Against the yen, he expected a JPY82.40-JPY83.40 range with the "risks skewed to the downside."
Still, the local unit may receive some support from a private sector survey on house prices, expected Friday. The Real Estate Institute of New Zealand survey - if continuing the upward trend in average house prices of recent times - should lend support to talk of a Reserve Bank of New Zealand rate increase next month, Parlane said.
Government bonds closed higher, helped by a solid bond tender, especially for 2017 paper, a senior local bond trader said.
The trader said Thursday's retail sales report "pretty much" cemented expectations the RBNZ will hike next month, but said the market was unlikely to extend the gains Friday.
"Bonds are expensive, so I don't see us pushing much higher from these levels," he said.

The only thing I understand is, the currency stated first is the base currency, and is showing the value of that currency against the other. I am not much aware of the factors affecting the fluctuations in the values of the currency. Can anyone help me with this, please?

Turning to the pricing of risk in the markets, the big event of last week was not the G7, but a well-sourced story in China’s Southern Weekend newspaper, reporting that the Finance Ministry had approved the creation of a new institution, the State Foreign Exchange Investment Corporation, to manage China’s $1.1 trillion of foreign exchange reserves.
These reserves, growing by nearly $200 billion a year, have so far been managed by a department of China’s central bank, the State Administration for Foreign Exchange, and invested almost entirely in government bonds and other low-yielding but supposedly risk-free assets.
The new State Foreign Exchange Investment Corporation will have a very different mandate, including a diversity of assets such as overseas shares, and perhaps even property and direct investments in the West. Reportedly, an initial $210 billion in equity investments has already been approved. If the reports are correct, this could represent a sea change in global markets, and especially in the relative valuations of bonds and equities.
The build-up of China’s reserves, along with the additional $1.6 trillion of reserves held by Japan and other Asian countries, has resulted in a huge shift in the control of global savings. These unprecedented sums have effectively been from the portfolios of US private investors, who tend to buy in equities, into the accounts of Asian governments and central bankers, whose natural, risk-averse mandate, is to invest only in bonds.
This “nationalisation” of global financial flows, due to the US current account deficit and a consequent build-up of Asian reserves, probably goes a long way to explaining the so-called “conundrum” of the insatiable demand for bonds, even at ultra-low yields.
The obverse of this strong demand for bonds, even at seemingly unattractive yields, has been a lack of enthusiasm for equities, even at valuations that seemed quite cheap, at least in relation to bonds.
A less obvious consequence of the Asian nationalisation of global savings has been a paradox in attitude to risk.
While the risk premium between asset classes has risen (that is, equities pay a bigger than usual premium relative to bonds), the premium within asset classes has shrunk. That is, within bond markets credit risk is inadequately rewarded; and within equity markets high-risk cyclical shares are more expensive than large-cap companies with earnings predictability and lower risk.
At first sight, this contrast between risk aversion by macro asset-allocators, and risk-seeking by specialists within each asset class, really is a paradox. Yet on closer inspection, it is also a result of nationalisation of global savings through Asia’s reserves.
As Asian central banks push top-quality bond yields down to unattractively low levels, other bond investors have to seek better returns by taking on extra risks. Simultaneously, Asian state institutions whose mandates allow only “safe” investments, will be under pressure to spice up meagre returns on these instruments, by sprinkling portfolios with assets that look like fixed-income, but really carry equity-type risks. So our creative friends in the markets will devise instruments to give the customers what they want: evermore exotic assets such as credit default swaps and payment-in-kind bonds.
This is exactly what happened in the 1980s, when Michael Milken created “junk bonds” to satisfy US thrift institutions that desperately needed equity-type returns, but were allowed by regulators to invest only in assets looking like fixed-income “bonds”.
From this point of view, China’s decision to shift part of its reserves from bonds to equities could prove far more important to markets than anything on the G7’s agenda.

FWIW eur/jpy has broken the asymmetric bullish triangle formed over the 1 ďż˝ past years and most important has finally closed above it (137.00-10). Next resistance here will be met around the 139.00-10, 140.20-30 and the top for 2003 140.90-141. Main target for this pair in the long run will be around the 153.80-90 area. This is of course technical and does not count on the intervention that everyone is talking about. With this bullish move on this pair this should help the bulls in the eur/usd pair complete the main objective (3500-30) set after this pair broke the bullish triangle several months ago IMHO. GL GT

Short term view eur/jpy pair: Key support is found now around the 517.30-40 and main support at 156.50-60 area for now while the indicators unwind from O/B levels. This pair is buy on failed dips until the main support is taken out. This pair is over due for a correction in the mid to long term view (medium term key support is at 156.30-40) but no hints of one yet at all. My personal long term level was hit around the 156-157 area already so the sky is the limit here IMHO. Peace and GT

BEIJING (AP)--A northeast China court has sentenced a business executive to death for swindling CNY3 billion ($387 million) from investors in a bogus ant breeding scheme, state media and a court official said Thursday.
Prosecutors told the court that one investor committed suicide after realizing he had been duped, and only CNY10 million of the swindled money had been recovered by the time the case was filed with the court last June, Xinhua said.
The Intermediate People's Court in Yingkou on Tuesday sentenced Wang to death, said an official in the court's case office who gave only his surname, Yin.
Fake investments and pyramid investment schemes have become common during China's transition from a planned economy to a free market. Chinese leaders have tried to eradicate the scams, fearing widespread losses could add to already percolating social unrest.

I'd wait and see how the market behaves when Europe enters the fray.
From a short term perspective AUD today (same as yesterday) as traded in a narrow 10 point range against USD, JPY has been very volatile after gapping 50 points after the GDP announcement it has traded in a further 50 point range in volatile fashion.
Longer term overall I think yes. JPY should firm up from here and Japanese investors should think twice about the carry trade. Historically USD/JPY has retarced aggressively.
There's AUD 2.6 billion of Uridashis maturing over the rest of this month and this may have some bearing on AUD's performance.
We've been up to 0.7900 and beyond on several occasions now since this bull run started five years ago but on each occasion we have failed to crack 80 cents. Option players and hedgers will make it more difficult each time to penetrate this level.
Taking these two scenarios together its probably not a bad strategy.

The index was up 8.3% y/y vs consensus of 8.4%. The pair was affected more by the selling in the AUD/JPY cross by Japanese Sec Houses from the 94.60 level when a much stronger Japan GDP led to a sell-off in the JPY crosses. With market chatter resuming of a BOJ interest rate hike soon, the JPY crosses will be under pressure which will limit the upside for the AUD/USD. Local intraday specs were seen selling the pair above the 0.7830 level but dips to 0.7810/20 are now sought by real money funds with further buying orders at 0.7800 supporting.

[Dow Jones] Japan economy minister Ota's remarks about BOJ suggest that overall, despite strong GDP numbers, Tokyo wants BOJ to hold off on a rate hike next week; while she says policy up to BOJ, also expects BOJ to keep supporting economy through policy, wants BOJ to carefully analyze economy, prices; that last line is key, because government thinks consumption actually not that strong despite 4Q's 1.1% rise on quarter. Tokyo thinks that increase mostly marks rebound from 3Q fall, likely to put pressure on BOJ next week to hold off to make sure economy keeps recovering.

[EUR/YEN] hit the low at 157.90 earlier. Despite decline through the 158.30-10 key zone, 157.85-75 continues to be the base created on Feb 13, and as long as the level holds, a decisive weakness through 157.30-20 would not be seen. On the other hand actions at the o/n peaks of 158.76/75 are toppish, and the latest quick decline zone from 158.50 to 158.10 or the mid level of 158.25-30 would be the immediate obstacle.

70%-80% Odds Of February BOJ Hike - Calyon
Calyon Securities chief economist Susumu Kato thinks BOJ rate hike next week much more likely than expected by market (which pricing in about 50-50 odds), says chance is 70%-80%; says if BOJ doesn't tighten, it's almost certain to hike in March because GDP data provided almost all evidence needed that tightening justified.

[GBP/USD] initially dipped to an o/n low of 1.9455 after the dovish BOE inflation report which predicted that inflation will dropped below 2% over the next 12 mths and then rise again above 2% over the medium term. BOE Gov King noted the inflation outlook is "highly uncertain" on acct of "uncertainty" about energy prices. The turnaround to an o/n high of 1.9642 came after the testimony by Fed Chairman Bernanke to congress where he sees inflation easing over coming mths prompting traders to expect a cut in int rate the later part of this year. Data release in the UK saw saw the Jan claimant count of unemployment recede 13,500, the largest drop in 2 1/2 years and earnings growth also receded despite the current pay negotiations. Buying orders at 1.9600 by a Dutch name and selling orders at 1.9670 by a European name will dictate the range this session. Buying dips preferred today. UK Jan retail sales due at 9.30 GMT.

Australian dollar falls vs yen as Japan reports stronger-than-expected 4Q GDP growth of 1.2% on quarter. AUD/JPY drops to 94.155 from 94.535 before GDP data. Dresdner Kleinwort analyst Adrian Foster says GDP data support a 25bp rate hike at BOJ meeting next week.

Think GBP was more move due to King's comments - a bit delayed or spurred by Bernanke. Dips now seem shallow with a bit of interest to buy.

Anyone want to share the view on GBP, EUR, AUD and NZD verus USD.
FWIW my opinion these currencies have borne the brunt of the USD adjustment until now maybe we will now see some earnest appreciation of JPY, therefore the others will weaken during this process.
Anyone care to agree?

Australian Total Pay Indicator Slows Sharply In Feb Quarter
Wage growth pressures in Australia eased sharply in the year to February, according to the University of Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic & Social Research.
Total Pay Indicator growth decelerated to 1.6% in the year to February, compared with 3.8% in the year to November 2006, it said in a statement issued Thursday.
Of those reporting changes in pay, the largest group was full-time workers and those on individual contracts.
The slowdown in wages growth was in line with recent signals from the Reserve Bank of Australia that interest rates are on hold for now as inflation moderates.
RBA Governor Glenn Stevens is expected to confirm the position of the central bank when he appears before a parliamentary committee in Perth next week.
The RBA raised rates three times in 2006, leaving the official cash rate at a six-year high of 6.25%. Concerns about wages growth formed part of the reason for the aggressive policy action
