AUD/USD
was dragged up by the kiwi this week after traders backed the bird when
the RBNZ left rates on hold and did not signal a certainty for the
timings of a next hike, giving the green- light to attack the shorts.
Despite
the CPI numbers from the Australian economy earlier in the week, the
weakest since 1999, the Aussie has managed to find a bid in a recovery
from 0.7548 and has corrected the move from 0.7765. The pair is now
through the 200 sma on the 4hr sticks at 0.7629 and is battling with
offers at the mid point of the .76 handle. The U.S. 1Q16 GDP increased
at an annualised 0.5% rate versus the 0.7% consensus expectation and
that has also given the Aussie a lift, supported by a rally in oil today
as well.

0.7491.
