Daily Report: Aussie Tumbles after RBA Cut 50bps, UK PMI and US ISM Next

China Manufacturing PMI rose less than expected to 53.3, is also weighing down sentiments a bit.

Featured Technical Report

AUD/USD Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.0400; (P) 1.0435; (R1) 1.0463; More

AUD/USD's sharp fall today and break of 1.0352 suggests that price actions from 1.0225 are merely a three wave consolidation pattern and has finished at 1.0473. Intraday bias is back on the downside for 1.0225 support. Break will extend the whole decline from 1.0852 and should target parity and below. On the upside, though, above 1.0473 will revive the case that AUD/USD has bottomed out at 1.0225 and turn bias back to the upside for 1.0636 resistance instead.

Trade Idea: GBP/USD – Buy at 1.6180

As the British pound has retreated after intra-day rise to 1.6304, suggesting a minor top is formed and consolidation is seen with mild downside bias for retracement of recent upmove, however, previous resistance at 1.6208 should limit downside and bring another rally later. A breach of said resistance would extend recent upmove to 1.6330
