RBA to leave neutral policy outlook and current language on AUD unaltered
Reply
Quotes from RBS Global Banking & Markets:
- The RBA decision is due and we anticipate that the neutral outlook on the policy rate and the current language on the AUD will be left unaltered. The RBA will release its Statement on Monetary Policy a few days later, but the post decision press release that is given with the rate decision will likely allude to any possible adjustments to the outlook.
- While the first quarter inflation print underwhelmed market expectations, we don't see it as out of line with the RBA's current forecast. This likely leaves the RBA outlook as solidly neutral.

re ism, yes employment component fell hence lack of follow thru on dollar. yen capped at 15. downside real while below there, some respite if above to 70. but looks like we see the 200 day some enough. dollar never gives up easily on this pair so still wouldnt be surprised to see test of 70 at some point first.

Risk On/Off Heat Map
London reopens tomorrow but Tokyo is out for one more session on Tuesday. European equities are ending lower (risk-off?) while U,S. shares are barely changed. Yields in the prime fixed income markets are mixed to higher (risk-on?). The prices for peripheral bond markets are mostly lower (higher yields). Far East equity markets ended mixed. The U.S. 10-yr was last 2.61%, +2bp.
The heat map color scheme of interest rates reflect yields. This aligns all the colors in the chart to reflect risk-on (green)and risk-off (red).

For a few years treasury did not issue 30yr - Fed has been tightening these past few years as it was scooping up treasuries (aka "buying money") // now we have a shortage of 30 yr supply LINK so some folks are going to be buying at the top
Some folks have been disparaging the employment report but look at the not seasonally adjusted - 20 yr & over (real workforce)unemployment rate is under 6% - 25 and over is pushing under 5%
Services ISM inflation has been very hot see if it stays that way - Fed may have a preference rate but the real world will likely intrude on their ivory tower before long

IF YOU read the 10-yr yield drop as bond players betting AGAINST Janet it might qualify as "market logic"

Red, that would be a logical scenario but one hard to bet on while in the FX (and global market) Twilight Zone.
Most glaring are US bond yields (10-year currently 2.58%) in a market where logic says it should be closer to 3.00% than 2.50%.
Reaction to news is what matters in this market more than the news itself.

after a good nfp the market will be looking for a second strong month before talk begins of rate rises. however, until then, all data will be scrutinised for signals on employment and todays will be the first look at april from the services perspective. despite being a bank holiday in the uk, i would fully expect the dollar to show some strength if employment components put in a good show. the dollar hasnt really reacted to good news as often its been foloowed by indifferent or poor data, but after the strong nfp, the dollar has the chance to rebound if data follows through. yen and then pound possibly to show most movement with euro volatility subdued ahead of ecb.

Today sees a couple of Service PMIs from the U.S. (Markit and ISM). After the fact, it will be interesting to see if the employment sub-component of the ISM Service PMI is strong. It is more tightly correlated with NFP payrolls than the MFG reading. The MFG sector of the U.S. economy is relatively small in terms of jobs. It is interesting because of its cyclicality.

Hi Raden, good Asian evening. I share the same view. Just thinking the optimum price we can enter a SELL. It could go up to 1.6890, make a U turn then dive. Or it can just fall from 1.6870.
May that magic box work for you! :)

Risk On/Off Heat Map

Tokyo and London markets have been closed for holidays today. Tokyo will be closed again tomorrow. The markets are in a "risk-off" posture heading into the U.S. after yields on bond and equities fell on Ukraine concerns late Friday. In Europe, yields in prime fixed income markets are mostly lower. equities are down. Far East markets ended mixed. U.S. S&P futures are down. The peripheral European bond yields are steady. The U.S. 10-yr is 2.58% -1bp.
The heat map color scheme of interest rates reflect yields. This aligns all the colors in the chart to reflect risk-on (green) and risk-off (red).

This week brings four central banks meetings: a Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) meeting Tuesday and European Central Bank (ECB), Bank of England (BoE) and Norges Bank meetings on Thursday. The market expects no change in rates or policy at any of them, so in all cases the focus will be on the statements and press conferences afterwards.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
05 May 2014
President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas who is a voting member of the FOMC, said on the Fox News program Sun the U.S. economy is "moving in the right direction" and "getting stronger" as private-sector payrolls increase.
Fisher added "the private sector is beginning to hire," and "we'd like to see that continue and, in fact, increase."
On Fed QE, Fisher then said "I personally expect us to end that program in October." He then said "And then we have to see how the economy is doing, including these broader measures of unemployment, n where we stand, before we can talk about how we might move the short-term rate."
Despite euro's brief drop to 1.3812 after Fri's release of upbeat US jobs report, the single currency rebounded strongly to 1.3881 due to dlr's broad-based weakness on renewed tensions in Ukraine. Euro rose further to 1.3889/90 in Asian morning today b4 retreating to 1.3865. Some bids are reported at 1.3860-50 n more at 1.3835/40 with stops only seen below 1.3810. On the upside, offers are tipped at 1.3890-00 with stops seen abv Apr's high at 1.3906.
Trading is likely to be thin today as Japan and U.K are closed for holiday.

AUDNZD
also along the same lines as I was thinking - the Westpac Morning Report that is linked below says the following ..
"AUD/NZD 1 day: Broke down last night (neckline at 1.0765) and targets 1.0600 during the days ahead.
AUD/NZD 1-3 month: By mid-year we expect another stab at 1.05 below. The multi-year decline has already undershot fair value by around 7% we estimate. That said, over/undershoots have historically been worth 10%, suggesting there is potential for lower still, particularly if RBNZ has hiked three times by June."
ok - never talked so much about the audnzd cross .. lol .. all the best.
syd sf 00:08 GMT May 5, 2014
AUDNZD
to me the risk is it overshoots down to 1.0620-50
aud no rate hikes any time soon - rba constantly saying its overvalued - Aus numbers weaker - China numbers stable to weaker
NZD - another rate hike coming .. they do try to talk it down though .. how much is factored in.
so yeah its dropped from 1.08 to 1.07 already so it might bounce 20-30 points .. but the larger risk is still to the downside for me.
