AUD/NZD primed for falls? [Video]
The RBA meets on September 06 and there are a number of factors likely to weigh on the AUD going forward.
China’s growth is slowing and the AUD tends to rise and fall with China’s economic growth.
The key export commodities from Australia have seen lower prices. Iron ore, coal, and copper prices have all been tracking lower on global growth slowdown worries.
The veteran economist Saul Eslake sees the RBA abandoning the 50 bps rate hike going forward. He expects unemployment to rise and GDP to miss the RBA’s projections.
So what’s the trade?
Well, if the RBA does take a more dovish stance at its upcoming rate meeting then that can be nicely expressed through an AUDNZD short at market.
Also, look at the strong seasonals favouring AUDNZD selling. With 16 falls between Sep 06 and Sep 19 over the last 22 years the seasonal favour AUDNZD weakness too.
Major trade risks
The major risk here is that the RBA take a more hawkish stance at their upcoming meeting and that can lift the AUD. The other risk is that a turnaround in China’s growth picture and/or commodity prices can nullify this outlook.
